“Just a few years ago, reckless experiments overseas gave us a devastating global pandemic. Yet despite that worldwide catastrophe, many countries are continuing extremely risky research into bioweapons and man-made pathogens. We cannot afford another mistake like that. That is why I am announcing today that my administration will lead an international effort to enforce …
US economy teeters on path to Japan-style stagnation! Take a close look at this chart because this is what’s going to happen in the future in the US and in any other country that will continue to persist on a similar irresponsible monetary and fiscal path like the one Japan entered and never left for …
My palms are sweating just looking at this. The sheer guts to deploy that much into 0DTE is insane, and wow, it paid off. But honestly, even with the win, the thought of that $338,000 just evaporating is terrifying. It’s just not worth the risk. Who says gay bers can’t win byu/Strange_Ad7482 inwallstreetbets
Of all the policy mistakes Trump has made as President, taking Fannie and Freddie public with explicit government guarantees would be the worst so far. Prior to their bankruptcy, the guarantees were only implicit. An explicit guarantee would allow the GSEs to be even more reckless than they were before, allowing the president’s friends to …
Yes, Saylor has no shame. He is advising people to mortgage their homes to gamble on Bitcoin, an "asset" they he has already leveraged up to buy. He's advice amounts to desperation. The Bitcoin blockchain letter is running out of chain. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) May 18, 2025

by Mike Shedlock Let’s discuss viral nonsense on alleged Social Security fraud and a simple explanation. 86 million people views Musk’s idiotic rant. 94,000 people retweeted nonsense. It would behoove DOGE to ask a few questions regarding something that looks ridiculously wrong before Tweeting it.

People need to start realizing that the ways things were with borrowing from 2010-2021 were an anomaly. Zero rates are gone. Never coming back. Inflation is a beast. It’s hard to stomp out. You need to crush it and the Fed refuses to do it. — QE Infinity (@StealthQE4) October 31, 2024 It’s hard to …
The trajectory. pic.twitter.com/7x59bmBk5k — Tuomas Malinen (@mtmalinen) October 23, 2024 Why in the hell are we cutting interest rates? Honestly it’s complete insanity. The bond market hates the idea as you can see by the rising 10 year yield. Inflation is still a major problem and is not under control. — QE Infinity (@StealthQE4) October …

by Michael The middle class in the U.S. has been steadily shrinking for decades, but in recent years our leaders have greatly accelerated that process. In 2020, 2021 and 2022 they absolutely flooded the system with new money, and almost all of that new money went into the pockets of the wealthy. The gap between the …
