Deficits do matter to normal people.
As we know H in four years will see $4.7 trillion of bonds mature across both IG and speculative-grade debt.
No accidents exist. Only perception to events.

We will be accused of the hindsight bias H since they cannot fathom what was designed to survive this
Cantellion "cradle of political economy" nightmare.

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA, P.L. 95-128, 91 Stat. 1147, title VIII of the Housing and Community Development Act of October 12, 1977

thread: 1937

Not even light will escape the carnage to come.

2005 on the senate floor was the last chance to defuse the carnage that was seen. It was ignored.
They want the "UN" to rule the world, and for that they will destroy the world economy.
thread: reg T

Two sides of a balance sheet depression which we know here well. Those reserves are for what we discussed as reg T and the SEC significantly reformed Rule 2a-7, a regulation governing money market funds. Among other requirements, these reforms required money market funds to hold significant liquidity and imposed stricter maturity limits. The thought map to cover the margin debt leverages we discussed and are well aware of as claims while the SEC Permits Portfolio Margining of Credit Default Swaps. I think of it as playing poker in a whirlwind but the release of those funds is the transitory holding from the 1983 of intent in the CCI program policy framework that already existed so that rings true if we like it or not.

But we digress: after all there is the "fake news" media to blame for any incorrect call.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y You will disappear unless you wake up since the tertiary assault movers is just
underway a for a few decades here. Your classical word will melt from the actual intent. You do not even pretend to understand what is already here.

They could not understand those thick dusty books and the actual classical word you never understood in percentages of actual change.

The heads has been piled so high a man on horseback could not see over them.

You indeed missed the 19000 attacks in the media since the Towers fell.
91 percent violence since day one, and you consider yourself PC will be the end of you point blank.
The stupidity is as bad as the arrogance that drives it.
The secularist have paid the heaviest price also in level three reductionism since they ignored the actual data
as they allegedly embraced science. The irony at best is the most misunderstood effect in the last 200 years
of delusional practices. As we have seen with the Voynich manuscript also it was the only actual document they could not
destroy and coded as it was it took over four hundred years as the viable business model to withstand the actual onslaught.
Yea we dated it and understand what it says to empirical formulations that escaped the so called golden age
of the actual religion of peace propaganda. The repository of thought preserved by the fleeing Schools of thought as we know as
Literature has faced extinction in our own era, but in a way different from the past. In the ancient world,
rare manuscripts were destroyed; in our age they have been crowded out by the abundance of technology and paper
and by philosophies of education that oppose knowledge. But in Christian school and homeschool settings,
books have been rediscovered.

I find the mocking from the European digitals who may very well disappear with the loss of their head will remember
we have both hard and soft copies for the future of our personal libraries. Our southern border is at risk but you
lost all four direction it more than appears. We ponder your fate and will leave it on shelf reminding the young it is
available to see many facts you can discern unfiltered. One by one they may regain their sanity.
Millions never had that choice to survive the decisions even Marx understood better than your current best.
There is no uniformity imposed by a statist decree telling these students what to read and telling teachers what to teach.
Instead, we are experiencing the rise of a generation of thinking students, who have traveled all over the intellectual globe.
The point we do what works was noted until you did not. It will take decades or more to repair the damages seen.
The thought that the Yazedi deserved no attention to survive is a value of false and serves only darkness.
People left to die means civilization is already dead and we warned from day one to be left alone is the real question in any merit
we only have left to preserve and means of any value stream once it is lowered. Narco states serve death and a party we have here runs
on the ticket to serve death as the fundamental right to choose death. It is a dead party best left on the body farm as we request leave are capital out of it and they will not.

Paul Volcker & Ray Dalio | State of the US Economy & Government

Dalio lost Comey as inside information and we seen the last pay check he got from the times also..

Volker crushed the economy since the MSU papers indicated policy changes to agrarian practises.
I could denote a volume of what it did. We survived but that is not the point.
The 400 acre farm was finished as the Kissinger "Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people."
Few read the papers and fewer understand the grocery clerk minding the store.
The arrogance in this guy pegs the meter as He watched the lines circle the blood banks.
Government has the monopoly on violence. I seen that for over four decades for many reasons hot and cold.

Stated another way, ambivalence is the experience of having an attitude towards someone or something that contains
a grocery clerk tabulating the malevolence of purported change of inside information.

When I saw a line snaking around eight city blocks in Columbus, Ohio for people who wanted to sell their blood at the Alpha Plasma Center. Nothing says end of the world like people waiting in line for hours to sell their life's blood for twenty bucks.

I was building days in motels chains when construction was crushed.

The recession in the U.S. produced a downturn in the economy of Mexico. Furthermore, the high real interest rates in the U.S. encouraged those with investible funds to convert them into dollars for investment in the U.S. financial markets. The end result is that the value of the dollar increased with respect to foreign currencies such as the Mexican peso. If the loan payments for Mexico were denominated in dollars then the decreased value of the peso with respect to the dollar meant that it took more pesos make the same dollar payment. With increased dollar payments to cover the higher interest rates it meant a lot more pesos were required. In 1982 Mexico was in deep financial crisis.

Call it as you wish, it was a contrived take out for the rise of the novel accumulated in 1986 for policy expansion.
The stall for time sorted out the true believers in payment structures.

Precursor to NAFTA from GATT and operation 936 political bludgeon to actual policy.

I will answer is question clear and save a lot of time and money for His middle of the road premise to serve government.

"It is not that government has lacked information needed to fix the problem. It is institutionally incapable of bringing about the desired result, since the principles of profit and loss, private property and contract, enterprise and entrepreneurship, do not exist in government. Any Government operates with an eye to its own short-term survival, and those of its connected interest groups, and nothing else." Mises

Pick one since you have no choice.
Level I - pathological defences (i.e. psychotic denial, delusional projection)
Level II - immature defences (i.e. fantasy, projection, passive aggression, acting out)
Level III - neurotic defences (i.e. intellectualization, reaction formation, dissociation, displacement, repression) <-----------
Level IV - mature defences (i.e. humour, sublimation, suppression, altruism, anticipation)

This is Volcker's summation of the current state of government.

@48:45 he conveys it.

He mentioned economic research.

That's why the Fed should not be looking at employment.

I downloaded this article, and all of the 640+ comments.

The comments seem to break down into various groups:

• There's a lot of desperation. "I didn't realize so many people
  are like me and want to commit suicide."
• There are the CH86 types -- "You deserve it because you're a
  Boomer."
• Some tried to provide encouragement. "Just wait until next year
  when Obamacare will be available and all will be well again." (Lol!!
  Recall this was 2013.)
• Many blame the politicians, completely oblivious to the
  generational issues and the connection to the 1930s.

That was six years ago. I'd bet that comments today on a similar
article would show a lot more desperation.

Anybody thinking of hiring me for anything would google my name and
would find 6,000 articles that the public would not love.

The reason that this worked for you is that you were 40, and 40 year
olds are supposed to be stupid.

But for me, that would never work because Boomers are supposed to be
dumb and pathetic, which is different from stupid. I've had
interviewers ask me questions that were obviously designed to make me
look dumb, so they could mock me, and when I triumphantly answer the
question correctly, they get pissed off. There is no way for me to
win in that situation. I can look pathetic, or I can look smarter
than the interviewer. I always choose the latter.

Here's how to think of it: Suppose you were going to hire someone, and
you were determined that you were going to hire someone white.
Suppose you were interviewing someone black. What you would be
looking for is a question that you can use to give a "legal" reason
for rejecting the black candidate. There is absolutely no way that
the black candidate can answer a question so that you'll hire.

The norm today is that Gen-X managers are like CH86, who would be
happy if all Boomers dropped dead en masse. It's perfectly
obvious from my resume that I have more than enough experience for
most IT jobs, and there's really no reason to interview me except to
find an excuse to reject me. And there's always an excuse, albeit an
extremely feeble excuse, but an excuse.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhXaJ6K8r-g as you noted the bazooka was never put away with the regs we seen H. Not a forecast as he conveys. Hayek was correct in the 1974 paper to what we had to witness.

Update on my short position. Currently down 49K.

I have no plans to cover anytime soon. Still expecting a massive generational crash. In my opinion, the higher it goes and the more rabid the bulls become, the higher is the likelihood of a more severe crash.
