Pretty confident the government shutdown is the black swan market crash nobody is talking about...yet. Gov printing injects billions into the economy every day. Trump can get what he wants if the shutdown goes on long enough--which of course is significantly lower rates. He's been trying since January to control the market and flex more muscle than Powell. They'll tank the market and try to control the narrative by blaming the Fed for being late on rate cuts once again or Dems for playing politics. The unorthodox move--something he's built a reputation for this term--would then accelerate the End the Fed movement in lieu of appointing a new chairman.

They don't care about the facts when placing blame and history books don't care about facts since they're written by the victor. Normies wouldn't put all these pieces together. The narrative on Wall Street is the Fed is stuck between their two mandates. Shutdown prevents them from receiving data reports, so they're driving this economy blindfolded. There is little reporting happening on the importance of gov spending on the US economy, but we see it in the data after ever significant shutdown. House republicans are deliberately being kept home to force this to play out. Every single player in this game has an excuse for "I didn't do it..." once the blame game starts. Conditions are ripe for fuckery.

Heh, well, again, good points you raise. I’ve been saying we’re living IN the depression NOW for the past 6 months. One way out of the last major depression was a bunch of free-money public works programs fueled by, as you put it, “fuckery”. We’ll see what happens soon enough!
