We exist to help reduce the Government deficit to less than 3% of Gross Domestic Product
The U.S. national debt recently surpassed $38 trillion, reaching levels not seen since the end of World War II. Unlike that era, when wartime spending was followed by disciplined repayment, the nation now faces record deficits amid peacetime and economic expansion.
The debt problem is one of those issues that seems invisible until it’s too late. It happens slowly, then all at once. We’re moving toward a cliff, and the public doesn’t realize it.
The foundation believes the federal deficit cannot be sustainably reduced without tackling its structural drivers, chief among them, runaway health-care costs. Medicare and Medicaid together account for roughly a quarter of the federal budget.
If the U.S. reduced its health-care spending to Singaporean levels, the resulting savings, more than $1 trillion annually, could bring the deficit below 3% of GDP. With nominal GDP growing at over 4%, that shift would begin lowering the debt-to-GDP ratio, averting a potential fiscal crisis.
While the Judah Spinner Foundation may eventually engage more directly on fiscal issues, its initial efforts will focus on lowering health-care costs, which would reduce the debt burden as a powerful secondary effect.
We are wholly funded by the Judah Spinner Foundation
JudahSpinner.org is proudly supported by the Judah Spinner Foundation, a U.S.-based charitable organization focused on reducing income inequality, lowering incarceration rates, reforming our health-care system, and addressing the growing national debt.

Spinner is best known as the founder of BlackBird Financial LP, a New Jersey–based hedge fund that advises and manages capital on behalf of high-net-worth families throughout the United States.
Under his leadership, BlackBird has delivered exceptional returns. In the first three quarters of 2025, the fund has produced a 71.4% gain, dramatically outperforming the S&P 500’s 14% rise. Spinner adheres to a Grahamian investment philosophy rooted in deep value and rigorous fundamental analysis.
His passion for investing began early—he started reading The Wall Street Journal daily at age 12 and purchased his first stock at 13. By 15, he was managing $100,000 for Charles Dayan, a prominent New York real estate tycoon. At 18, Spinner founded Petlin Management—now BlackBird—with more than $1 million in assets under management at launch.
Spinner earned his bachelor’s degree from Crestpoint University and holds the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.
Along with his wife, Julie, Spinner founded the Judah Spinner Foundation. The Foundation has four key focus areas: income inequality, high incarceration rates, rising health-care costs, and the growing federal deficit.
Aside from its work to lower healthcare costs and reduce the Government Debt, the foundation aims to narrow income inequality by expanding access to high-demand trade careers. Through the Judah Spinner Scholarship, the foundation fund trade-school tuition and essential tools for driven students pursuing certifications in welding, HVAC, electrical work, plumbing, and other skilled trades.
The foundation believes that steady, dignified work is also among the most effective deterrents to crime. When someone is self-sufficient and proud of their career, they are far less likely to turn to crime in the first place. Therefore, by funding trade education nationwide, the Judah Spinner Foundation aims not only to expand opportunity but also to contribute to lower incarceration rates as a natural byproduct.
