I’m sure the Orange Sphincter will be ON this ASAP! 

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio warned that the rapid rise in U.S. government debt is creating conditions “very much analogous” to the years leading up to World War II.

 “When debt rises relative to income, it’s like plaque in the arteries that then begins to squeeze out the spending,” Dalio, 76, said in a Bloomberg TV interview aired Friday.

 Dalio has long highlighted the risks of escalating U.S. debt, calling it a “threat to the monetary order” last month. He criticized politicians from both parties and urged a combination of tax increases and spending cuts to address what he calls the “deficit/debt bomb.”

Dalio didn’t get the Orange Jewlius’ memo…just lower taxes and the “growth” will make up for any loss in tax collections. 
 
 

I can say, with 92% certainty, Trump was installed to provide exit liquidity for the J U U Z when the rug gets pulled.

There’s no other explanation for what is going on in the markets.

Something tells me that if we were to stop engaging in hypotheticals about cutting ties completely with Israel, then the debt would not be out of control. Israel is a snake. Snakes don't dig holes, they take them over from other wildlife, then make it their own. They use it to protect themselves from predators and the elements. America dug this hole of debt, but Israel is using it to protect themselves. Thereby creating more debt. Cut ties with them. They will crash us into the ground, then they will find another hole to take over.

When has it ever failed?



 

It has been suggested that in the last 25 years spending is 2/3rds of the national debt with lower tax revenue accounting for the other third.

At this point, raising taxes won't have much effect.

So Saint Raygun was wrong then?       

At least you admit it now!

But, perhaps I should be THANKING the J U U Z for offering a once in a lifetime SHORT opportunity when it finally comes in 2026? 

All this time I've been nothing but their most vociferous critic, when they are offering me wealth on a golden platter in the form of put options!

Reagan? CP's favorite president?

I was in my 20's through the 80's, politics wasn't on my radar. Those years were great personally, chasing the almighty dollar. Penciled out to almost 3 times the median household income and living pretty large for a young guy.

If Reagan was the culprit and started us on this slide, there has been plenty of effort on both sides to continue the slide. The US is not the only country in this position.

The headlines suggest there is quite a bit of money moving around, you may get your wish. Hope your pockets are deep enough to really take advantage.

Hope you had some silver calls.

The government needs to concentrate spending money on productive people, the result will be predictable......instead of spending money on the non-producers and the mentally challenged, like rKelly, that give no beneficial return.
