@dapstats If you are an American and believe in the Constitution, the answer is obvious.

[Bill McBride @calculatedrisk]

Today marks the 4-year anniversary of one of the most heinous acts in US history. Jan 6th 2021, is a day that will live in infamy.

For those who took an oath to preserve and protect the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, this is solemn day of remembrance.

[Bill McBride @calculatedrisk]

@dapstats One is foreign enemy; the other is domestic.

Hence the oath that references both....

@PiGuy19 No one mentioned BYD at the party.

@timehack @TKTOM Debt to the Penny | U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data https://t.co/G76x3QIxwy

Here is the debt (updated daily). The "Debt Ceiling" is a joke.

[Bill McBride @calculatedrisk]

@noalpha_allbeta Look at Florida. Remember that state?

[Bill McBride @calculatedrisk]

@TKTOM The Treasury keeps track of the amount of debt.

The "debt ceiling" was originally intended so the Congress didn't have to approve each transaction. Now it is just for politics (the budget determines the amount of debt approved).

@Hotelvalueguy Not misleading. Read entire article.

@Panopticon_KAS Combination of low sales in Oct 2023, and lower mortgage rates in August and September when contracts were signed. Sales will still be historically VERY low.

Here’s an early read on tomorrow’s single-family housing starts release. October’s +4% month-over-month rise was better than we usually see in our @JBREC homebuilder survey.
