Guest Post: Another Day Older and Deeper in Debt, by Gary Christenson

14

This post first appeared on The Deviant Investor. Official US national debt exceeds $21 trillion. National debt increases over $3 billion per day. Another day older and $3 billion deeper in debt! The U.S. government pays the interest by issuing new debt. But that new debt increases total debt and (eventually) drives up interest rates, which requires more borrowing to pay the annual interest payments. Another year older and deeper in debt! A reset will occur when the debt load becomes too heavy. WHY DEEPER IN DEBT? Governments spend currency units, corporations demand their payoffs, the warfare and welfare lobbies …

Guest Article: Don’t Get Distracted By The Trump/Fed Soap Opera – The Crash Will Continue, by Brandon Smith

19

At the beginning of 2018 I wrote extensively on what was likely to happen under the administration of Jerome Powell, the new Federal Reserve Chairman. In my article ‘New Fed Chairman Will Trigger A Historic Stock Market Crash In 2018‘, published in February, I predicted that the Fed would continue interest rate increases and balance sheet cuts throughout the year and they would knowingly initiate a crash in equities. To be clear, this was not a very popular sentiment at the time, just as it wasn’t popular when I predicted in 2015 that the Fed would launch interest rate hikes …
