How can anyone look at the shrinking middle class and think K-shaped is just socialist propaganda?
Dude, post more Spencer Pratt videos and less about the economy ...
K-shaped economy is socialist-speak based on economic envy, not the hard solutions that are required to make it better ...
Those solutions are not appropriate for SEC rant discussion (x warnings, y bans) ...

How is this "torching people's 401Ks"? And no I am not watching your hyped-out youtube link. Use your words.
I didn't say it was. I said Bessent all but said he will do so to suppress the yield.
Saying it will torch 401ks is admittedly a little hyperbolic, but the reality is propping up bonds through intervention risks more inflation, a weaker dollar, and another painful market reset later that could hit both the stock and bond sides of people’s 401ks at the same time.
Of course, the risk of not intervening is that all of that happens now and worse

Doesn't even care about himself if he ends up living 30 years......which is possible given medical advances.
The mitigating news is that we are in the same boat as China and Russia as well as the Europeans.

You would absolutely need 1 trillion in cuts at a minimum otherwise we are simply just paying on the interest not touching the actual debt owed. Cuts will have to equal the size of the budget deficit for the year, anything less is nothing more than a minimum cc payment.

The 401k market will be sacrificed or confiscated (if DSA makes deeper in roads)
Stout is 100% accurate there ..

Yes, socialists use the K-shaped economy to push their propaganda.
That doesn’t make it any less a reality. You don’t have to agree with them to to see that asset owners weather money printing, inflation, and market volatility better than those at the bottom of the gap. When the cost of living rises people without appreciating assets get squeezed the hardest.
It's a pretty simple reality. You just dismiss it because one group hijacked it for their social reform proposals.

Pic of Trump signing the BBB that helped cause more inflation and increased the debt.

I agree but destroying everyone’s 401k would be a byproduct of very high interest rates leading to weak growth. Weak growth would lead to lower tax revenue making spending cuts even more necessary and more difficult because the economy would be in recession so we would get the triple whammy of economic stagnation, high interest rates, and a reduction in entitlements.

The destruction/confiscation of 401ks is the "end game" trigger, for sure ...
What comes out on the other side?
Probably what that Russian political strategist wrote over 30 years ago ... mass chaos and the balkanization of the United States.

Bessent has intervened in yen markets (worked only for a few days), intervened previously in bond markets (worked for a day), is likely intervening in energy markets, and now doing whatever crazy thing stout just posted. I think those are bad signs.
This is what the prelude to right-wing socialism looks like.

Captain, you start a dozen threads a day. We're all still waiting for some evidence of gray matter from you.

Bessent is considering throwing nearly $1 trillion into bond market intervention

That’s weird because I haven’t even made a thread in 4 days.

expand bond buybacks and pressure long-term yields lower. Pretty clear that keeping borrowing costs contained is a major Trump administration priority
Interest on the debt is one of the reasons why the debt keeps growing. We are literally starting to borrow just to pay the interest.
