Teaching people to hate America fundamentally destroys patriotism and the desire to defend our country.

Such teachings should be viewed as treason and those who do it imprisoned. https://t.co/CNW0PlOTfM

"The Social Security Administration's internal watchdog is investigating a complaint that alleges a former U.S. DOGE Service employee claimed he had access to two highly sensitive agency databases and planned to share the information with his private employer a claim that, if true, would constitute an unprecedented breach of security protocols at an agency that serves more than 70 million Americans."

That's the $64,000 question.

Here is a great article on how to measure the strength (or weakness) of an auction over time.

Proposals for the Treasury

1. I would cease all issuance of Treasury securities. Instead any deficit spending would
accumulate as excess reserve balances at the Fed. No public purpose is served by the issuance of
Treasury securities with a non-convertible currency and floating exchange rate policy. Issuing
Treasury securities only serves to support the term structure of interest rates at higher levels than
would be the case. And, as longer term rates are the realm of investment, higher term rates only
serve to adversely distort the price structure of all goods and services.

2. I would not allow the Treasury to purchase financial assets. This should be done only
by the Fed as has traditionally been the case. When the Treasury buys financial assets instead of
the Fed all that changes is the reaction of the President, the Congress, the economists, and the
media, as they misread the Treasury purchases of financial assets as federal 'deficit spending'
that limits other fiscal options.

Here's a better article from a guy that operates at a far higher understanding of treasuries than AntiochWags

Is it necessary for you to so often come off as insulting of others?

And a long ways away from 49.
Or 200.

And you were close to 60 before 6 pm yesterday. Of course you likely consider all your repetitive posts to be informative and those you disagree with to be spam.

---

I'm simply following in the footsteps of a very active poster here.

You don't seem to have an issue with his volume of posting.
So it makes no sense to have an issue with mine.

Your post comes across as hypocritical.

---

It would only be hypocritical to someone who can't read well or simply just doesn't pay attention. I only have an issue with the volume of your posting because you hypocritically call out people for high posting. I also call out a lot of folks for booths, which you do quite often, which is why I have previously questioned your information retention.

Because you're the only one calling people out for how much they post. He's showing you what a hypocrite you are on OT
