Something else happening today you might be interested in

Not a surprise, just as they increased interest rates and raised reserve requirements, classic monetarism, all aimed in pulling money out of circulation

They aren't. They are still printing money wholesale. They are just raising interest rates to 'slow down the overheated economy' (as if economic activity was somehow bad). Thus, inflation PLUS a strangled housing market!

Watch property values fall and building materials fall in price (deflation) for this particular market, while elsewhere inflation is out of control (such as in general goods and fuel).

Of course, Democrats are advancing a bill right now that would institution price controls on fuel, causing massive shortages.

Better get used to empty shelves.
 
The Fed literally can print money. They are not broke. They could break the rest of us, but not themselves. If you cannot understand that, you are lost.

printing money is what started the inflationary spiral.
continuing it gets you Zimbabwe.
better to just accept that you just cant do that.
 
CELTIC GUY YOU ARE AN IDIOT. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I HAVE YOU ON IGNORE. BONDS ARE NOT EQUITY BONDS ARE DEBT.

THE WORD YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IS "PRINCIPAL", YOU BARELY FUCNTIONAL NAZY MORON.

STOCKS ARE EQUITY BECAUESE STOCKS ACTUALLY ARE A BALANCE SHEET ITEM. A STOCK,THEREFORE IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN, "ASSEST" YOU TOOTHLESS, SMELLY, IGNORANT, PANTS FULL OF POO, BARF-COVERED, BAD TO HIS MOM, ASSHOLE.

Both debt and stocks are on balance sheets, dude.
There is no such thing as an 'assest'.

A bond is stock in a government. It is not much different than stock in a private corporation.

In both cases, they are used to raise money for the organization.
In both cases, they are considered a liability by that organization in building it's balance sheets.

The only primary difference between the two is that a bond has an interest associated with it, while a stock does not.

A stock purchased by an individual means that individual has equity in that corporation.
A bond purchased by an individual means that individual has equity in that government program. The principle IS the equity of a bond for a bond holder.

A stock is a liability to a corporation. Like a debt, but without associated interest payments and no payment requirements.
A bond is a liability to the government issuing it. It is a debt. It has associated interest payments and has payment requirements.

It is obvious you don't know accounting, how the government funds itself, or how a corporation funds itself.

Fuck off.
 
When will you assholes finally understand how economics work? Oh yeah, never.
You are describing yourself.
Simple explanation: things like prices, supply and demand, inflation and deflation; these all are instigated on a million small actions, but only reveal themselves on a national level as a result of long period if interaction with other factors.
Nope. It reveals itself with EVERY SINGLE TRANSACTION.
Long story short: our present situation was arrived at through actions of the past.
Yes. Democrat tyranny, fascism, and communism has brought us to this moment, along with what capitalism still occurs.
Try to remember: trump's trade war with China,
Trump is a proper noun. it is capitalized. What trade war with China?
his departure from just about every international body that plays a part in international, and thus national finance,
What international body plays part in international and national finance???!?
and his almost daily insulting of world leaders.
Only the ones that needed it. BTW, YOU are insulting a world leader. HIs name is Trump.
Just one more, and listen carefully: he single handedly destroyed, altered, or rescinded every measure intended to protect our environment from the last fifty years.
Define 'protect our environment'.

Are you referring to his rejecting the Church of Global Warming and the Church of Green? No, they are not the environment. They are fundamentalist style religions that ignore and deny science and mathematics.
Thereby allowing every corporation in America to just about do anything and everything they want to increase their profit.
Right out of Marx. Profit is not evil, dude.
How much of that profit was used to make our economy better, do you think? Ha!!
Every bit of it. Making profit IS the economy, stupid.

They are broke. Printing money does not keep someone from being broke.
 
I was a fulltime ,journeyman road musician then. Gas prices were BRUTAL.

So was availability. Price controls imposed by Carter caused massive shortages of fuel.

People won't sell fuel for less than it cost to obtain it.

Looks like this knee jerk reaction is happening again. Democrats are even now advancing such a bill to implement price controls on fuel yet again. Never mind the Constitution, of course.
 
Inflation rate calculated with the formula in place for Carter the inflation is...

I N F L A T I O N - FLASH (June 14): The original Finished Goods - Producer Price Index series, which goes back to 1948, hit a 47-plus year high annual inflation of 16.7% in May 2022, the strongest showing since December 1974, up from a revised 15.6% in April, while the current Final-Demand Goods PPI-FD series (created in 2009) hit another all-time (13-year) high of 16.6% in May, up from a revised 16.4% in April.

So yeah, deja vu all over again
Carter is no longer the worst modern day pResident.
 
The Fed got caught with its pants down. It is holding what was $9 trillion in assets which are rapidly losing value as America dies.
