i don't think that is something to brag about given the flight from US treasuries and what some have called 'sell america'

Of course, and even the Pig knows that. That's why he just arrived in Switzerland wearing his TACO Man personna.

MAGAts like BuffaloGurl are just too dumb to realize what just took place.

I mean.. The European countries own 40% of the US treasuries.

France, Germany and UK being among the top bond holders.

Someone got to let the snowball roll.



I am not even sorry anymore. There is a time to be pragmatic and rational, and then there is a limit to how much BS you can handle.

The American president went too far. He cannot TACO his way out of this.

Sammen er vi stærkest.

Edited:
Danish pension funds has sold American treasuries for 13 billions of Danish kroner. Citing: the country is too unstable and their debt too high.

The money boss says Mom and Pops' own 5, 10, 12 houses for their retirement. We're fucked.

Money boss has no clue how Americans live and the challenges they all face. Can't expect much from him and his comrades in the administration.

GDP for the third quarter revised upward.

Powered by strong consumer spending, the U.S. economy grew at the fastest pace in two years from July through September, the government said Thursday in a slight upgrade of its first estimate.

America’s gross domestic product — the nation’s output of goods and services — rose at a 4.4% annual pace in the third quarter, the Commerce Department reported Thursday, up from 3.8% in the April-June quarter and from the 4.3% growth the department initially estimated. The economy hasn’t grown faster since third-quarter 2023.

Core PCE for October and November 2.8%

The Bureau of Economic Analysis released a combined measure of the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index for October and November due to the government shutdown which showed inflation rose 2.8% year-over-year, excluding volatile food and energy prices, and 0.2% month over month.

The U.S. economy grew a bit faster than initially thought in ⁠the third quarter, the government said Thursday, while corporate profits were also revised higher.

Gross domestic product increased at an upwardly revised 4.4% annualized rate, the fastest pace since the third quarter of 2023, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic ‍Analysis said in its updated estimate of third-quarter GDP on ‍Thursday.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast GDP would be unrevised at a 4.3% pace. The economy grew at a ⁠3.8% pace in the second quarter.

The slight upward revision to growth in the July-September period reflected upgrades to exports and business investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, were revised up.

Consumer spending spiked due to rising costs.

Government spending spiked.

There were some unique import - export conditions due to DonOld’s TACO trade & tariffs tactics.

Gold is spiking.

Tourism is plummeting.

The wealthy have seen real gains, while workers’ wages have remained stagnant and their economic position has eroded:

I saw a report that the gasoline price decrease will save Americans 11 billion IF there are no crises (what are the odds…), while the electricity price INCREASE will COST Americans $32 BILLION.

One thing the government can do is make AI data centers pay for the entirety of the electricity cost inflation they’re causing.

Around the country, certain areas where data centers were built saw electricity costs jump as much as 267% compared to five years ago, a 2025 Bloomberg News analysis found.

The Union of Concerned Scientists says …

Data centers must be required to pay a fair share of the nearly $1 trillion in electricity costs attributable to them over the next 25 years.

The United States can meet electricity demand from data centers primarily with clean energy and simultaneously phase down fossil fuel use.

The Union of Concerned Scientists says …

The data centers should be compelled to pay all of the rising electricity costs, in fact they should be compelled to pay out dividends to everyone within a 100 mile radius then pay a premium on property taxes as well...
When all is said and done those data centers will be a key factor in a very large social, fiduciary containment fence. Designed to facilitate your compliance and slavery.......

US economy grew at fastest pace in 2 years in third quarter, fueled by consumer spending​

Commerce Department releases closely watched GDP data​

By Eric Revell FOXBusiness

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on Thursday released its final reading of third quarter GDP, which showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 4.4% in the three-month period including July, August and September.

That figure topped the expectations of economists polled by LSEG, who had estimated 3.3% GDP growth in the third quarter. It was also the fastest growth rate in two years.

The report also found that real GDP rose at an annualized rate of 3.8% in the second quarter. That followed a GDP contraction of 0.6% in the first quarter. Taken together, those three readings indicate the U.S. economy grew at a 2.5% annualized rate through the first three quarters of 2025.

JFC Comrade RightGuide, how many times are you going to repeat the thing I already posted? Did Alzheimer’s cause you to forget you posted that yesterday?

2.5% annualized growth rate through the first three quarters of 2025 is almost as high as the 2.8% GDP growth rate in 2024.

Should Germany bring their gold reserves back home to Germany?
Seems that they no longer consider the US a safe place to store their gold.

Now that would shake the market. I doubt Scott Bessent can get away with calling Germany Irrelevant.

Repatriate the gold.

There are the consequences to comments and a great example of destroying trust and possible outcomes. Couple the removal of gold with Canada entering to trade agreements with China for cars. Canola oil etc... trump and company seems to be the best trade envoy... for others. The US is losing or lost its stature in so many ways from research to education to trade... sad state of affairs.

What you are witnessing is the planned destruction of the US dollar, the code name for this "operation" is sandman. If you're paying attention you'll realize that Saudi Arabia, U.A.E and one other Middle Eastern state are settling oil transactions in other currencies and physical gold rether than the US Petro-dollar. At the present the Russians, Chinese and the Hindus are trading silver, gold, oil and other sanctioned commodities amongst themselves thus by passing the swift clearing house....
Presently there 158 nations in the bricks trading outside of the swift system bypassing us sanctions....the fees alone for transferring funds through the swift are staggering (where does these funds end up?)
As the collapse/destruction of the US dollar, physical gold, silver, copper and ammunition will become increasingly important in commerce ....as the dollar fails ,the majority of us social programs (welfare, section 8, free health care for illegals ect..) the majority of trust funds that supply easy money to the libturds collapse.....yupper it's gonna be painful, extremely painful but it's part of the social/civil war that the left desires so much...
This will also facilitate the introduction of crypto currency via data centers with a social credit score, same as China...what will be included is a universal basic income, that has an expiration date (can't save it).....there's more, much more
Those of us outside the system with gold/silver will fair far better than the socialism that the rest of America will perish under .....

And likewise - I hope that you will be able to get your more than 20% of the US of A's ENTIRE debt renewed with a reasonable interest next year.. well, that is if you can find someone to lend you the money that it..


Hint; maybe Russia, Belarus or Hungary will help you.
