It’s just a 30%-50 % paycut per family of 4. I don’t see the fuss here.

It will be interesting to see how much of this $816 billion in borrowed money over the next four months will come from the real economy and how much will be printed by the Fed. The Federal Reserve was originally established as a "lender of last resort," but now it's become a permanent lifeline. The United States is in real trouble.

“Borrow” is mentioned 15 times in that article, but it conveniently leaves out who is it being borrowed from?

It’s called seignorage - the privilege of being the sovereign with the right to print money thereby stealing from the entirety of society. Stealing from rich and poor alike.

They are not going to borrow ANYTHING.

This is a printing operation. “borrowing” implies paying back principal. We will NEVER pay back principal, only interest. The fiat ponzi scheme relies on an ever-increasing M2 money supply, and by design, there can NEVER be enough (due to fraction reserve bankstering) to pay back the entire principle, and more to the point (see Grace Commission) we never have and never will pay back principal.

The central banksters of the entire world. And nation that has a Central Bank, is part of the FED cabal.

I figured it would be China or Iran, because that’s who Biden is tight with.

How is it possible to borrow money for three months since there are only two months left?

“In the next 3 months....” not “for the next 3 months...” That being said the treasury sells 4 week bonds, 8 weeks bonds, etc. etc. up to 30 year bonds. The amount they sell of each depends on the bonds that are “rolling over” and “strategy” i.e. if they know the Fed is going to drop their rates then they sell more “short end” bonds. (My understanding anyway).

Borrowed money is about to become the only economy that exists in America.

Firmly believe that the goal is completely bankrupt all nations, thereby forcing them to all agree to a single international currency. Of course, sovereignty will need to handed over.
