Has there been an interruption in Venezuela's internet access? Is Starlink bringing the antennas and other hardware needed for Starlink to Venezuela and distributing it to the people of Venezuela? Seems like a meaningless gesture unless they do that. That said, it's a lot of effort for one month unless the real goal is to provide internet access for American "advisors".

As predicted by anybody with an ounce of brains, Trump has called for a huge expansion of the Federal government with a 50% increase in defense spending to $1.5 trillion dollars. The guy bankrupted casinos. What did you expect? Empires aren't cheap.

It is what it is. If I thought you chuds could read anything longer than 280 characters I might post that, but I gotta go with what gets attention around here.

At this rate the debt could hit $50 trillion by the end of the Trump mandate...

It's almost surreal the way that the Bond Market has been behaving.
At some point, there will most likely be a "failed" bond auction.

Wouldn't the Fed just buy a failed auction as a last resort?
