@pbsnews: A sustained sell-off in the bond market sent long-term Treasury yields to their highest levels in nearly 20 years this week, rattling both Wall Street and Washington. Higher yields, essentially the interest rate the government pays to borrow money, also mean higher borrowing costs throughout the economy, from mortgages to car loans. Amna Nawaz discussed more with The Washington Post's David Lynch. #finance #economy #bonds #news
trump is responsible for 30% of the entire united states debt

it does not mean investors are demanding more yield.....it means bond holders are selling their bonds because their fear inflation or default risk

Other countries tries to balance their budget. Except for Clinton US havent done that since WWII. There is a limit and the combination that US current regime cant be trusted, makes it volatile

Seems like with Trump we are in a major pump and dump. The rich is stripping us bear and then they will leave with their booty and we’ll all be left to deal with the collapse.

It's obvious to me that the billionaire class would be okay with most of us dying. Robots and AI will do our jobs. The old Guilded Age needed commoners for labor. We aren't needed. We just drain resources that could be used to satisfy the rich. We must realize that their lives matter more than ours. They think that they are "Super Humans." 😒

Let me make this simple. Deficit spending for 40 years is now at risk. Because the overall debt owed is higher than the GDP, the output of our economy. The government is out of credit availability
