Anyone who thinks the banking crisis is over isn't paying attention.

Are the banks covering up account movements of cash for the Dem and RINO elites?

Otherwise, like Pelosi’s illegal insider stock trading, we could chart the coming bank failures by ones deserted by those insiders.

And yet 4% Interest 9taxable as it is) still doesn’t keep up with BiXiden Inflation.

It’s government theft.

Dick Durbin says everything is fine despite Kevin McCarthy. On his limo ride to work this morning “he didn’t see any lines outside the banks”. Any banks failing in the next six months will be the Republicans fault over an “irresponsible and reckless debt ceiling bill” -Also Dick Durbin.

Amazing prognosticator. It’s going to be a blood bath. The Fed, FDIC and the largest banks are trying their best to postpone a huge crash. The economic clock is running out. There is nothing they can do to avoid toxic bonds and commercial real estate foreclosures. It also seems there is a tremendous amount of subprime home mortgages and credit card debt that will create an unrecoverable tsunami.

No one wants to do the right thing: massively cut government and government spending. For instance the cost of the Inflation Reduction Act started out as a little over $300 billion to being rescored this past week to be over $1 Trillion.

What is eff’n wrong with these morons?

Spending a trillion dollars (It will be higher) that we do not have requires US dollars to be printed because no nation wants to buy out debt. Many countries are selling our debt. More dollars in the economy chasing the same or fewer goods cause inflation. The Fed in turn increases interest rates, which devalues assets, namely bonds, which are held by banks. The Federal government and the Federal Reserve are intentionally killing banks. The elite get to buy the profitable bank assets when a bank fails and the taxpayers get stuck with the ALL of the losses.

It’s not just the Inflation Reduction Act either. It’s the Infrastructure bill. It’s the Omnibus bill and more. All of these end up being more expensive than enacted - substantially more expensive.

Eff’n McCarthy and House Republican pussies response is H.R. 2811 Limit, Save and Grow Act. This increases the debt limit. It doesn’t save a dime, and it grows government.

There is no debt limit when each time it is approached, Republicans increase the limit.

Savings only occur when you have revenue that exceeds spending.

A spending cut only occurs when you spend less next year than this year.

We have economic mental midgets running the country. Republicans have no clue how to negotiate. They are about to have their asses handed to them by a diaper wearing, dementia ridden imbecile.

I went CD shopping today.

The banks I went to primarily wanted to offer 5 to 15-month CDs.

They’re willing to pay a mere 3.5% to 4.45% while Walmart raises prices several times faster.

They’re hoping to go back to .1% to 1% ASAP.

I’ll be looking at longer term (maybe 5-year) Treasury offerings.

Better 3.5% for five years than 4.45% for five months and then 1% for 55 months.

I’m 64. I’m really not up to starting a business at my age.
