so in short... nothing stops this train and we are fucked and this is mostly just showboating.

Too early to be pessimistic. Everyone assumes mandatory spending can’t shrink by stopping dead people from getting SS benefits, for example. Waste and theft can be removed without needing to cut the goods and services entitlement programs provide. How much remains to be seen, but I wouldn’t be s...

On Sunday, Trump hinted that the United States might renege on some of the $36.22 trillion that it owes on the national debt. https://newrepublic.com/article/191367/trump-treasury-default-bond-market

Thanks for the breakdown and thoughts. I’m guessing within that large defense budget there is a large amount of waste, easily 10-20%.

Good analysis, thanks. IMHO, they will turn on the money printer, big time. And they will use the whole process to move more money to the billionaires. They will continue the Trump tax cuts and more. Plus, project 2025 makes it clear that they will go after Social Security and Medicare

No. All this fraud cutting is terrible for bitcoin. Sold it all already.

Jerome Powell posturing yesterday that QE not immenint but I agree. Nothing stops this train. https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/testimony/powell20250211a.htm

Love this, TY. I’d also add that nat gas in forecasted to rise 24% in 2025 so adding pressure on the cost side via electricity.

Cutting things like the department that looks at voter fraud…EPA…DoE…are not “fiscal moves”, they are moves to make themselves stay in power for longer, democracy is being attacked, but for some reason you all seem really distracted…

Also, thanks for posting this here, did you get my tag? Hahahah

Anything gov is smoke and mirrors. It's the antithesis of the one true King

This kind of content is what Nostr needs. Great to hear your perspective!

NAILED IT. GONNA STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS ABOUT IT.

“ 'Great civilizations are not murdered. They commit suicide.' -Arnold Toynbee" -Jason Lowery's Soft War I'm 100% with you in that we're trying to drain Lake Superior with a hand bilge pump.

This is why we need Big Balls in Washington.

Spot on!

Nothing stops this 🚂

thanks for the videos.

Great breakdown. Btw, your pod with CJ was off the fucking hook 🧡👊🏻🍻

# government efficiency, especially on a fiat currency system, is an oxymoron

Great vid. I'm enjoying this format. Is it possible that tether or some other stable coin will fill the gap for new liquidity? JPow is still looking fairly tight at the moment and I don't see a recession anytime soon.

Nice work! Like these viewpoint video takes✌️

An economic system that depends on continual inflation will bring about it's own downfall. It's happened before, and it will likely happen within our lifetimes. Good thing we have #Bitcoin.

My husband posted this video for my Korean families. Thank you. We love you!

Great analysis. Govt spending reminds me of caloric intake in a way- Cutting out bad calories without replacing them with good ones causes a deficit and the body will shrink. Cutting wasteful M2 is good as long as it is backfilled with other liquidity, otherwise the market and tax receipts shrink.

Pretty botched job if you ask me. Could be done more effectively with less collateral damage. Lasting and legal changes not the sensational paper gains they’re claiming. My god just cut Pentagon budget a few hecking points does more than jamminga bunch of folks who probably have some good intenti...

If doge really does it that means more time to stack!

Anyone that can shrink the size of the govt is an American hero in my book. I'm looking forward to see what they find at the IRS! Audit the auditors! LFG!

I suspect the entire effort will have limited success. There will be some headline wins but the spending will continue regardless.

Think DOGE will be very good for American people, i don't think it will be a deflationary event, I believe the gains will flow to Americans in the form of less taxes, also interest rates will go down so all of these are more liquidity. About the US debt, Jeff Booth already said it, it's insolvent, n...

I know you can’t hear me, but I’m clapping. 👏 👏👏👏

correct conclusion. “all roads lead to inflation.”
