  • Right and as the fed types numbers in to appease congresses drunk spending, inflation goes fucking haywire and we're all stuck with stagnant wages from 2005 and stock indexes at all time highs

  • No im concerned that we came together and made a budget that's like 20% military 20% interest 40% boomer care and 20% rich people hand outs. Are we dumb?

  • Hopefully the social security kicks in soon, or you're not that old! If you're looking to buy a house I think there are some tax loopholes for using retirement savings. I'm sure trump and his cronies would also love to relieve you of your retirement in some diabolical way. So I'm guessing your job market is fucked too?

  • fair enough. I'd argue that news articles really fail to capture some of the real politics and worthwhile discussions. There's a reason why the rightwing media bought up all the local news agencies.

  • I've got my eyes on that possibility as well. Although right now im kinda thinking they just dump crypto because they couldn't sell the dream fast enough. Crypto might just be used to grift the crypto investors and not the entire globe. Time will tell.

  • I wish it was a joke, they just did that with the Big beautiful bill last year. It's not an ideal way to use them and probably should be banned.

    Japan/china hold US bonds because its makes for easy trading, it stabilizes the currency exchange market and allows for large payments to be made without much fuss. The only reason why they want our bonds is because we trade so much. chinas mechanism of controlling the exchange rate is the same as the US, we both like to just print more money. National bank buys bonds to stabilize market. anyway most of the time the bonds are held to avoid exchange rates. They themselves becoming a medium of trade like cash between nations.

    Of course we don't need to issue bonds at all for funding, again they are just a useful tool for global investing and trade. They get abused and extorted like any other financial market. christ imagine if we were using silver as a medium of exchange. their not really something I'd spend much effort defending politically, but economically idk I invest in them. They were kinda nice back when the federal government functioned

  • Totally necessary when you need to finance 10 Trillion dollars in tax cuts for the rich over 10 years. They also bolster international trade so it's not all bad. Issuing bonds for infrastructure with built in returns for example good use of leverage and tax payer dollars.

  • Mods don't want us discussing what our back up plans are for job loss. But if you lost your job today, what job would you apply to on indeed, and would there be enough money from that job to pay your current bills? Do you think there is security in your job market if you lose your job?

  • Seems like the US consumer is stuck between a government with drunk spending, and a ton of debt. Next to a corporation who's squeezed every last penny out of people between wages and costs of goods and services. If GDP is to increase enough to pay off the debt, how does that happen? The only GDP growth comes from sucking up wages and monopolizing, and good old government spending.

  • I was hoping last years shenanigans would have pushed Europe away from our tech companies. I don’t see much hope unless we can elect a new Congress that is willing to do Monopoly busting across the board.
