So what happens when rates go up?  The 10Yr US Treasury is at 1.635%.  All this additional supply (1.9T) will put stress on rates to go higher.  Who is going to step up and buy all this supply?  What astute investor or fund wants to "loan" the US government money for 10 years at about 1.6% when they can put their funds into the equity markets and pull down 10, 20, 30%?   That move is a guaranteed loser.  Plus inflation is on the rise and pretty quickly. 

 

Most likely the Fed will step in through additional QE purchases to hold rates down by increasing the size of their balance sheet.  A likely consequence will be a weaker US dollar.  So pick your poison.  Higher rates or a loss of purchasing power in your paycheck denominated in a currency that is losing value.  This will all happen rather quickly. I hope people are preparing for this likelihood and not ignoring the obvious risks.  Because there won't be anybody left to bail anyone else out when the SHTF.  

 


Can’t argue any of those eventualities are risks... but This process is just another way the government can redistribute wealth in the mean time.

OH, I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS ONE:  

 

Americans Making Over $400,000 Will See ‘Small to Significant’ Tax Hike: Biden.

 

Every single democrat pulls this one.

 

Every single one.

 

What it means is that everyone making 60k and over will see a significant tax increase.

 

 

 

Not the wealthy elite though. Millionaires and billionaires don’t count. This tax policy will be about severing the ladder to upper middle class mobility. You’re either one of them, or everyone else. 

 

Democrat tax policy is about taxing the wealthy about as much as  republican spending  policy is about fiscal conservatism.
 

and of course all partisan tax policy is crafted to attack the groups, states, institutions and industries that don’t funnel your party money or just disagree with you.

‘COVID Relief’ Bill Collides With the Constitution

by David Catron

 

Well, that didn’t take long. The first major bill passed by the new Democratic congressional majority and signed into law by our new president on March 11 had already provoked a constitutional challenge by March 17. The attorney general of Ohio filed suit against the Biden administration last Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, alleging that the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) unconstitutionally and coercively limits the right of states to manage their internal fiscal policies: “This suit challenges an unconstitutional provision in the American Rescue Plan Act — a provision that allows the federal government to commandeer state taxing authority.”

 

 


thats kind of a stretch isn’t it? The policy was can’t have federal money if you use it to pass on a tax cut. While it is disempowering to the states, and hypocritical given there was no issue with ‘help school get back’ money being passed as teachers bonuses instead, I don’t see the constitutionality problem.

Wisconsin Assembly Authorizes Investigation of 2020 Presidential Election

<snip>

The resolution, opposed by every Democrat, gives Republicans, who control the chamber,

authority to issue subpoenas to compel testimony and gather documents, said

Rep. Joe Sanfelippo, the vice-chairman of the Assembly elections and campaign committee.

Ya know who doesn't like investigations?

Guilty peeps.

ELECTION DECIDED, NPR’S MODIFIED LIMITED HANGOUT EXPIRES: 

 

https://nypost.com/2021/04/02/npr-issues-correction-after-claiming-hunter-biden-laptop-story-was-discredited-by-intelligence/

 

 

NPR issues stunning mea culpa after claiming Hunter Biden laptop story was ‘discredited’ by intelligence.

 

A book review of Hunter Biden’s memoir “Beautiful Things” initially dismissed the documents first reported in October by The Post.

 

“The laptop story was discredited by U.S. intelligence and independent investigations by news organizations,” the book review by NPR senior editor and correspondent Ron Elving initially claimed.

 

The correction on the Thursday article now says, “A previous version of this story said U.S. intelligence had discredited the laptop story. U.S. intelligence officials have not made a statement to that effect.”

 

Although some Democrats claimed that the laptop may have been “Russian disinformation,” President Biden’s campaign, the White House and Hunter Biden have not denied the laptop belonged to Hunter.

 

In a new interview set to air in full Sunday on CBS, Hunter Biden admits that the laptop “certainly” could be his.

 

 

 

Earlier: It’s Important To Be Honest About What Today’s Media Actually Are.

 

“It’s time to stop acting like these political activists are professionals who do honest journalism. Continuing that pretense is not doing a favor to the public. It’s not true.

 

With very few exceptions, these people are not there to do journalism, and we need to be honest about that with the public. Not everyone is as bad as everyone else, but nearly the entire press corps is somewhere on the Democrat activist scale, from lefty to fringe, from shrewd to clumsy and clownish.”

Vulnerable Dems fret after getting a shock: AOC’s campaign cash

 

As the midterm campaign’s first fundraising deadline approached this week, several vulnerable House Democrats got an unwelcome surprise in their accounts: $5,000 from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The New York Democrat sent the contributions to her colleagues to help keep the House majority ahead of a tough cycle without directly contributing to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, with which she’s publicly clashed. But Ocasio-Cortez's largesse — and an oversight at the campaign headquarters — has instead raised awkward questions among her colleagues as some swing-district Democrats fret over whether to return her money before the GOP can turn it into an attack ad.

Major American business groups have lined up against President Joe Biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan – even after many of them got behind his $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief effort.The opposition signals the headwinds the White House is up against promoting a package the Biden is designating as the next big push of his agenda, and one that he said Friday would create 19 million jobs.The U.S. Chamber of Commerce went after the plan as 'dangerously misguided.' 'Properly done, a major investment in infrastructure today is an investment in the future, and like a new home, should be paid for over time — say 30 years — by the users

Biden hires Joe Manchin’s wife…

Joe Biden announced today he is nominating Democrat Senator Joe Manchin’s wife, Gayle Manchin, for the position of federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission.

 

 

 

Did you have a problem with Trump hiring Mitch McConnell's wife as transportation secretary and did you vocalize it?
