Has anyone noticed that may be were in a liquidity crisis banks aren’t lending interest rates going up crypto‘s gonna tank with it they’re all pumping.
They say this every time. The good old debt ceiling scam.
Isn't it ironic that none of the massive spending they want will affect members of congress. Total scam
It's really all a drama made for show hungry Americans, financial advisory letters, and bankers trying to buy into the market at a new, lower entry point. What goes up must come down before it goes up further. A sideways consolidation to wait out till the end of October, or as someone said 'eating time off the clock'
What it means '.. to suspend .. the debt ceiling ..' -- Can't the gov't speak basic English? -- To suspend = to eliminate + Debt ceiling = restriction. To vote on eliminating the debt restriction. The circus here is to endure how the two parties recklessly make life difficult for the population that voted them into power to manage the gov't and to get things done with MINIMUM attention-grabbing hocus pocus
They’re destroying us by putting us in more debt
No, debt is here to stay. The Romans printed money for 300 yrs to finance their wars before their empire collapsed. If the Romans could do it for 300 years then we can do it for at least a hundred years. == The debt is financing your wellbeing and peace of mind. Remember how Donald Trump threw over a Trillion$$ to Wall Street alone? .. during 2019 Sept to 2020 February, the Repo saga? and Billions of that money went lost and never accounted for. The USA would have to put the equivalent amount of the debt as gold into Fort Knox first. -- Look at China how they buy out the world now with printed / fake / funny money. They bought out Sweden's Volvo and generate hard cash for the CCP now after an order from a Danish shipping company to build electric trucks. And you already know how China takes over other countries with a debt trap .. all from printed, fake / funny money. No, until the communists stop printing money there's no debt relief
I Want to see US default. They aren't paying, just printing more debt. How long this will be sustainable? US kingdom is long gone. Wall Street will keep ignoring this until it's over all of a sudden 170yrs after the market began
Our politicians throw our lives & the entire country into turmoil on a regular basis. It's as if that's all their really good at doing.
thats the system you choose and support, legalized corruptionmake lobbying illegal and things will balance out, and, may be, government will finally care about the once that pay the bill.
