The Federal Reserve kept its pedal to the metal in 2021, despite gargantuan fiscal stimulus to speed Covid recovery.

The biggest inflation outbreak in 40 years ensued, spurring rapid-fire Fed rate hikes to stem it. The interest rate hikes steadily lifted the Treasury's average borrowing rate to 2.3% by the end of 2022 and 3.1% as of October.

About $8 trillion worth of debt held by the public is set to mature over the next year. The Treasury will have to reissue that sum. The key question is at what interest rate?

It's like the Kevin Costner movie, No Way Out.

A ridiculous 3.3% this year in the face of things costing 70%-125% more under the Disastrous Joe Biden Administration

Why re-issue?

They just need to prevent the stock market crash from occurring until Trump takes office, and then they can claim that it's all his fault.

Got to maintain the illusion of pedojoe's Potemkin economic miracle.

Wasn’t all that long ago that folks, probably some on here, that said that Ron Paul was fringe. That his son is fringe for wanting to audit the Fed

MSU professor does a little research and finds $21,000,000,000,000 in unidentified spending.

Perot campaigned with a thesis that was completed by a college kid that documented every program and every cent. And all the waste that went with it. But Perot was a kook and spoiler.

The Democrats figured out, during the early part of the GWOT, that budgets weren’t needed. Give Bush what he wanted for the war, no budgets and they get everything they want with CRs and Omnibus. No questions asked.

Of course Obama loved it, as he could get anything he wanted and threw republicans the scraps.

Pres Trump asked for a budget every year. Was snubbed every year. Why would Congress want a budget and budget negotiations, when they could just wait til the last minute and force the Presidents hand?

Gee, I wonder why that was one of Gaetz’s arguments.

Keep voting for Graham, thune, Cornyn, etc. they’ll do better next time. They promise.
