What is puzzling to me is, why do people, especially so-called journalists, not say something about this school loan boondoggle. Biden won election by promising these student loan paybacks to over 45 million people. If someone told me they would pay back loans I was not going to pay back, hell, I probably would have voted for him too!! If you ask if he is the most popular vote-getter of all times, this is how it is done. But, no one talks about it. Offer free money to someone, anyone, and I will bet you get 100 participation. That we have mental incompetents running the country seems to only offer small interest in the news media. Train wrecks, food warehouse explosions, dead chickens, egg shortages, phony pandemics that lead to phony vaccines? Dayum, have I seen this movie before? Just sayin'

Tom says hold government T Bills. Perhaps the Fed could default on these? You don’t even get a piece of paper only digits. Who do you trust???

Nobody talks about Iraq because when USA liberated the nation from the bad guy Saddam H. The democratic election that followed ended with the Shia Muslim (Iranian) majority electing an Iranian to lead the nation. Subsequently, the new good guys now running the show decided the best course was to murder the Sunni minority. This did not set well with the Sunni minority who ran the government and military under Saddam. These bad guys decided to band together as ISIS. Iraq is now controlled part and parcel by Iran. Saddam was formerly our ally (good guys) especially while attacking Iran (BG). Alas, Saddam thought USA as an ally gave him license to act like a bad guy (like the USA) and attack Kuwait and gas the Kurds. George Bush senior gave him a whooping for attacking Kuwait, Saddam didn't like us so much and turned to the Russians earning bad guy status. The fun part is in the details, USA was funding Iran to attack ISIS (Saddam's guys) while also funding ISIS to attack Iran. We funded the Taliban to attack Russian in Afghanistan and later the Taliban (Pakistans secret army) attacked Pakistan and destabilizing the nation. Back before we made the Taliban the good guys against the Soviets, we funded the nuclear program in Iran. Not to worry Israel injected a computer virus into the Iranian centrifuges used to enrich uranium shutting down the program. Not to worry Siemens a German company cured the virus to get Iran's nuclear bomb program back on track.

Ally status with the USA can mean you're a good guy or a bad guy, either way you'll get lots of loot to make the world a lot less safer for everybody.

What if the Russian had helped Hillary win the election? Would Chelsea be on the board of Barisma?

We might have a whole host of new good and bad guys to hate and love.

Also, as Bill & Team have observed in the past, credit card debt is at an all time high, which they interpret as dipping into savings to maintain a standard of living.

When the Fed raises rates, it will make using this tactic more costly for credit card users; by implication, too costly for many. And if the Fed raises rates high enough to squash inflation, it will also quash jobs too and, in the process, diminish tax revenue state, local and the Federal governments need.

My two cents: The Fed better dish out this painful medicine at a faster pace. The longer it takes, the more likely its inflation-killing, job-destroying tactic will become the single largest reason the current Administration will be replaced.

After all, since politicians are elected because of what they promise to give voters, it will be easier for the party out of power to assert they can do a better job than the incumbents.

But whichever party wins, I hope its leaders appreciate that wars are hideously expensive. I don't think the US can afford another. Better if our flag follows trade; not the sword.

Yes Bill “ The idea wasn’t that Iraq, Iran and North Korea had actually done anything for which they should be penalized; it was that they were “bad guys.” Due to the fact each of the three had no Central Bank, and of course would be the bad guys for our Banking Cartel 🤔

Bill, If the truth be told about George W. Bush's terms in office (with his cohorts Cheney and Rumsfeld),I don't think the American people would than picture them as good cowboys on white horses with white cowboy hats promoting Democracy.. Not after the loss of Americans at (9/11),and in the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan. A survey of Main street,America would give true statistics and numbers regarding inflation,unemployment,etc. Let the American people without penalty take all the cash out of their 401K's,IRA's,and pension funds, and than assess the value of Wallstreet and our to big to fail Banks. Only my thoughts.

Whatever happened to the dead cows on Bill's ranch? He's stopped posting any ranch news. I fear he's tired of fighting the Originarios and is selling the place.

Would anyone (Bill, Tom Dan, Joel and subscibers) care to speculate as to the reason/purpose for the continued buying of significant amounts of gold by sovereign governments as noted by Dan last Friday ?
