Left USA 12 years ago @balibri.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The Fed can no longer rescue the bond market without feeding the thing the bond market is worried about, and it can’t figh the thing the bond market is worried about without putting up the price of $40 trillion of government debt. 000
Left USA 12 years ago @balibri.bsky.social · 25/09/2026this bond crisis is unlike those before. Since the Second World War, crises may have been caused by government policies, but they have always been in the private sector followed by governments riding to the rescue. This one is in governments themselves, and there is no one to rescue them. 000
Left USA 12 years ago @balibri.bsky.social · 24/09/2026A lack of bond buyers will lead Sec.

Left USA 12 years ago @balibri.bsky.social · 24/09/2026World debt at all levels has soared by +$10 trillion in the first half of 2026 to a nosebleed $365 trillion. That is equivalent to 310% of global GDP. Global debt is more than 3x bigger than the global economy, and financing this at 5% interest rate is a diff place than funding the largesse at 2%. 100
