The best part is there is no universe where doing this will actually contain rates. You already see the containment failing as the 30 year rate and mortgage rates decouple. Banks aren’t actually retarded like Trump.

The lesson from the 73 oil shock is DONT DO THIS. The Burns fed was too accommodating and kept rates too low which made Volckers ultimate tightening that much harsher.

Basically don’t hold cash because it will be worthless after two more years of Trump. Buy any hard asset and enjoy the ride.

the only viable solutions involve drastically slashing our defense, social security, and medicare/medicaid budgets. Defense is a non-starter because our greatest ally needed 80% of our missiles to harass its neighbors. Social security is a non-starter because of boomers. Medicare/medicaid/other welfare is a non-starter because of niggers.

Defense is the one area where we are #3 and lost a war to Iran so it should be cut because nobody thinks the US can or ever again will fight a winning conventional war anywhere except South America. We are done here. The Chinese and the Russians collectively outproduce us in every facet of military production by literally 20 to 1. Russia fired more missiles in one day yesterday than the US will produce in the next 3 months. We are never winning an Eurasian land war.

I haven't seen any news about a new change in fed policy. The fed is definitely accommodative given the persistent inflation. Though the slow GDP report a week ago probably gave Warsh enough support to keep it this way. He's going to do whatever trump wants and trump wants the money printer running.

the bond market is currently trading at levels which don't reflect current economic conditions. Treasury is stepping in accordingly:

"We have a big toolkit, so we'll see," he said. "Part of it is signaling here and to show that we believe that the yields don't reflect the underlying fundamentals."

Bessent also characterized liquidity for the 30-year bond as "very poor," providing another incentive for Treasury to intervene in what normally is a robust market.

the point I'm getting at is complaining about "artificially" adjusted interest rates is silly because that's how the entire system is designed. The Fed has a monopoly on money and by virtue of that, interest rates aren't subject to the "free market"; they're artificially set.

Best part is -- the intervention failed after just 1 day. Rates are up. Its destroyed confidence and now they face an upcoming failed auction. Only two countries are seeing failed auctions -- the US and Russia. Russia because they are fighting a shooting war and cant get buyers at even 16.5% and the US because we have an idiot in charge.

unless the Fed steps in right here, right now, to provide emergency relief to a nation at war with Iran choking the free world of oil, there will be a market crash-- book it
