@LPNational If there was ever a time where an intelligent Libertarian could make serious inroads, it would be now. Unfortunately, they post stuff like this and put up crappy candidates. Oh well.
So get this…
There have been no hurricanes in the North Atlantic basin so far this year.
If we make it through Friday (9/11), it will be the first time in the satellite era (1966–present) that there have been no hurricanes in the Atlantic through this point in the season.
@factor_members Honestly, it depends on how I am playing it. I would say I am about a 2 on both. There are times I sell into strength and there are times I let a stop take me out when I am trying to hold longer. Both are in my trading rules depending on the stock and price action.
@markminervini@markminervini - I want to thank you again for getting this back on Kindle. I finished the book last week and it was probably the best book I have ever read on trading with some very actionable ideas that I have not seen in other books. I will definitely read it again.
@jonbking I put it on my watch list instead of putting in a buy order like I normally do. Work was crazy and I didn't look until the end of the day. Oh well, next time. No FOMO.
What stops this train?
The US government is now spending $3.8 billion on interest PER DAY.
By 2028, estimates show that the US will spend ~$5 billion per day on interest, more than any other category.
To put this into perspective, the US now spends $3.1 billion per day on Medicare and $2.5 billion per day on defense.
When the cost of your debt becomes your biggest outlay, you know something is broken.
Intervention by the US Treasury is only a short-term "solution."
@ChrisManc9 I thought of a way to get rid of kids on e-bikes. I am going to go into town council meetings and suggest that all people start riding them to bars since cops can't give them a DUI for riding them drunk, unlike a motorcycle, since it doesn't require a drivers license
There are approximately 162.3 million employed Americans - meaning, every working person would need to pay $245,800 to cover this. @SenateGOP@HouseGOP Stop being a part of the problem and fix this. Start by educating the public.
American taxpayers are now on the hook for $39,890,263,441,627.83 as of today.
We are about to cross $40 trillion for the first time ever.
$2 trillion per year is the current growth rate of the debt. 42% of all income tax revenue goes to paying interest on the national debt.
