Why would the continue to cut when is under control? In 2019, interest expense as a percent of tax receipts was 26%. Today it's 36%. The U.S. can't afford higher payments so they have to inflate away the real value of their future payments.

Bondholders are the suckers at the poker table.

I painstakingly read Facebook’s advertising standards and community guidelines before requesting a review. This second rejection arrived within a minute of my submission. Nothing I could see in the ad would’ve violated anything, except perhaps the name Christ.

At first I rolled my eyes, but then I imagined someone sharing the Good News but who couldn’t speak the audience’s language. So, I retooled the ad to be more fluent in Facebookish. Be the Church for people, not at them.

The financial press is attributing 's 26% rise since election night to a Trump pump. That explanation fails to distinguish between proximal causes and ultimate causes. The ultimate cause is that 's 4-year halving cycle coincides roughly with the global liquidity cycle. The block subsidy to miners was cut from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC on April 19, which inevitably led to a supply squeeze. Meanwhile, central banks have been cutting , which signals an increase in global M2.
