the only viable solutions involve drastically slashing our defense, social security, and medicare/medicaid budgets. Defense is a non-starter because our greatest ally needed 80% of our missiles to harass its neighbors. Social security is a non-starter because of boomers. Medicare/medicaid/other welfare is a non-starter because of niggers. |
|
Date: August 20th, 2026 11:52 AM Author: sealclubber we're fucked because we are collectively a bunch of needy bitches. defense is one thing where we must be #1. everything else should be negotiable. the idea that social security age limit isn't higher is really fucking retarded. (i'm conceding that getting rid of it altogether isn't an option but i'd support that goal) the idea that medicare etc shouldn't be cut like a motherfucker is really fucking retarded. |
|
Date: August 20th, 2026 12:47 PM Author: .- .-. . .-. . .--. - .. .-.. . Defense is the one area where we are #3 and lost a war to Iran so it should be cut because nobody thinks the US can or ever again will fight a winning conventional war anywhere except South America. We are done here. The Chinese and the Russians collectively outproduce us in every facet of military production by literally 20 to 1. Russia fired more missiles in one day yesterday than the US will produce in the next 3 months. We are never winning an Eurasian land war.

Date: August 20th, 2026 12:49 PM Author: Brussels Sprout (Apropos of the Wet Snow) the bond market is currently trading at levels which don't reflect current economic conditions. Treasury is stepping in accordingly: "We have a big toolkit, so we'll see," he said. "Part of it is signaling here and to show that we believe that the yields don't reflect the underlying fundamentals."
Bessent also characterized liquidity for the 30-year bond as "very poor," providing another incentive for Treasury to intervene in what normally is a robust market. |
