#Obama created the biggest #bondmarket boom in US history, because when interest rates fall, bonds, mortgages, and other credit claims that carry a high interest rate go way up in price. Essentially, the #USeconomy was turned into a #Ponzischeme. The Federal Reserve’s position was: we know there are defaults, so we are going to lend debtors the money to pay, so that they do not default. If they do not default, the banks will not have to write down loans that were made beyond the ability of home buyers, credit card #debtors, and others to pay.”

"As of 2 p.m. ET on June 10, #FoxNews has spent less than 30 seconds discussing rising inflation, with only a brief headline read appearing on #America's Newsroom, according to a #MediaMatters review. Anchor Bill Hemmer during the headline described the highest #inflation since April of 2023 as 'not what we want, but it is in line with expectations.'"

If non #GOP parties were ever take back power in the #USA, there should be immediate investigations to unearth the ugly facts of #Trump's disastrous regime, and its enablers. Fox News should be amongst the companies of interest.
