We’re dooooomed.
“..I suspect that the ‘government shutdown’ instituted by the Democrats was done to try to collapse the US economy. This is why the believe the longer it goes the better for them....”
I suspect that you are correct.
They knew they couldn’t pull another covid plandemic, but a nice, little economic collapse should usher in the same thing.... The communist basstids need to be strung up...publicly. After a quick trial, of course. Spit.
For the USA 38 trillion dollars in debt is 38 trillion dollars in debt.
President Trump has used tariffs to raise revenue.
He also is cutting deals with South Korea and Japan to get money they have invested in the US.
Those are financial facts.
This is the opposite of QE - Quantitative Easing - that the Fed did during the mortgage meltdown and later to "help" with covid.
The Fed can wave its magic wand and make any liquidity crisis go away—much ado about nothing.
(Yes—of course there is no free lunch and inflation will be the result—but that has a significant lag so will be the next guy’s problem...)
The curtailment of QT (i.e., ending the runoff from the Fed’s balance sheet) is intended to bolster reserves in the banking system.
Perhaps. As Congress makes the Fed Govt larger and larger with more and more employees at some point it becomes quite challenging to shut it down.
Not sure we’re there yet but that day may be coming. That’s why it is critical that we cut it back now while we still can and potentially still have the political power to do so.

Quantitative tapering is a central bank monetary policy where the pace of asset purchases is reduced to withdraw economic stimulus. It is the incremental reversal of a quantitative easing (QE) strategy. Tapering is a phase that transitions from QE to quantitative tightening (QT), during which the central bank reduces the amount of new assets it buys before fully stopping and then shrinking its balance sheet.
Quantitative tapering in context
Quantitative Easing (QE): The central bank buys large quantities of government bonds and other securities to inject money into the financial system. This lowers long-term interest rates to encourage lending and economic growth.
The Tapering Phase: Once the economy improves, the central bank slows the rate of these asset purchases. While the central bank is still expanding its balance sheet, it is doing so at a slower pace.
Quantitative Tightening (QT): After tapering is complete, the central bank reduces the size of its balance sheet, usually by letting maturing bonds expire without reinvesting the proceeds. This reduces the money supply and increases long-term interest rates to help combat inflation.
Market Impact: The announcement of tapering can sometimes cause market volatility, as investors react to the signal of reduced central bank support. This is sometimes referred to as a “taper tantrum
TUMBLINDICE IS A PROVED ANTI-SEMITIC LIAR!
In his post #12 here:
https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4350054/posts?page=12#12
He asserts,
“89 US congress members have dual Israeli-American citizenship.”
That is false. There has never been a single Israeli American dual citizen congress member. I have repeatedly proved that. He cannot prove a single dual citizen Israeli-American congress person.
He may not have known that he was repeating an anti-Semitic lie, but I brought that to his attention in my #s 13, 15, 23, 26, 27 and several others.
Separately, in FReepmail and in the clear twice, I gave him the following opportunity to correct himself:
*****
Since you seem to not be reading or are ignoring FReepmail, here it is in the clear:
Please retract your #12 publicly and in stream to correct the record. That information is now known by you and me to be false.
That’s the simple, easy and gentlemanly thing to do. It corrects the record so that known misinformation is not further propagated.
The less pleasant option is for you to stick by your original post #12 as truth. That will not go well. I will bring to everyone’s attention your sticking with the lie.
You and I haven’t had any run-ins over the years. I don’t have you on my radar as a bad guy.
But I’m not going to let a lie stand. Please take care of it in a gentlemanly fashion, and we’ll move on.
Please confirm receipt.
*****
So, tumblindice now surely knows that he repeated an anti-Semitic lie, is unwilling to correct the lie, and prefers to let his lie stand as truth.
As we should know those we are dealing with at FreeRepbulic, let it be known that:

I’m always amazed at the two realities that people live in:
1) President Trump is doing great. Inflation is down. Interest rates are down. Tariffs are generating huge revenue. Manufacturing is being re-shored. Foreign investment is flooding the US. Stock market at an all time high. Things great.
2) Trump is a disaster. People can’t afford food. Tariffs are driving up the cost of everything. Companies aren’t hiring. Companies are laying off huge numbers of people. The rich have never been richer and the poor have never been poorer. Everything is falling apart and we are going to crash like the Great Depression.
Half the country is crazy. I don’t think I’m in the crazy half. But maybe I’m wrong.
Larry Fink of Blackwater thinks Fed Reserve Powell’s fahrts smell like Chanel No.5.

How can you not like somebody who can create wads of cash out of thin air?
Lol.
Get bent dual citizen.
The system was broken in 2008. The draconian reaction of the government back then stopped the breakdown and put if off for a decade. Covid took some of the pressure off and pumped trillions into the markets.
We are far from a liquidity trap, which would cause a huge drop in asset prices.
anti-semitic
Their version of the lefts’ “hater!” or -phobe: “You disagree with me!”
Here is the definition of a Liquidity Trap for those who wish to play along at home:
LIQUIDITY TRAP
“A liquidity trap is a situation described in Keynesian economics in which injections of cash into the private banking system by a central bank fail to lower interest rates and hence fail to stimulate economic growth. A liquidity trap is caused when people hoard cash because they expect an adverse event such as deflation, insufficient aggregate demand, or war. Signature characteristics of a liquidity trap are short-term interest rates that are near zero and fluctuations in the monetary base that fail to translate into fluctuations in general price levels.”
Thank you very much for monitoring and reporting these lies.
It wouldn’t bother me much if a few congresscritters held dual citizenships (it has become all the rage around the world, with many many many USA citizens taking out the repeated offers of Spainish, Portugese, Polish, German, and other European citizenships based on ancestry...plus of course some folks who want to have a convenient second pass to safe refuge if they fear a DNC takeover of USA, plus some legitimate immigrants to USA who retain their native national citizenships as a matter of the laws of their home contries or by choice, etc etc. Plus some Americans who take out second citizenships for tax reasons...)
I am not happy with most of this but it applies to millions and millions of American citizens and it is appears to be growing too. (for the record, it does not apply to me or my family... but from the chit chat I’d guess it applies to 3/4 of the people within a few blocks...)
Where’d ya go Unk?
