A reminder that if the US doesn’t reduce spending, inflation will be high for the foreseeable future. None of the sources of income are likely to increase significantly so need to reduce spending https://i.imgur.com/x322Mrl.jpg

The US needs to figure out a path forward or the state and the dollar will not be in great shape!

Stop spending!

All these pension funds that are buying long-term bonds are going to be underwater.
