All eyes should be on the bond market. The 10-year Treasury yield is up well over a percentage point in the past three months and is closing in on 5%. There’s a bunch of reasons for the higher rates, but most significantly is the prospect for broad-based tariffs, immigrant deportations and deficit-financed tax cuts. These policies will add to inflation and the nation’s debt load. And then mix in the possible political dysfunction around increasing the Treasury debt limit and latent worries about Fed independence, and you have a noxious brew. Highly (over) valued stock and other asset markets are increasingly at risk of a sell-off if interest rates push up much more. Today’s job report for December shows the economy is strong, but not for long if they do.
The racist orange felon was seen grabbing a black female journalist’s bottle of water to tighten it because he was frustrated with her asking him questions he didn’t like. I hate this asshole.

Yessir, here we go again. it's night two of our three day run at the Continental in Austin. 7:30 PM showtime. I'm not all that political. In fact politics can be a drag. But kids, Sleepy Joe is wide awake and he’s ready to party. And there's room for you if you wanna come on over
@midwestbmc@94AndreRBryant @Blxwpipe @DannyParkins I'm only asking you - what if they draft Caleb and he sucks? It's not a "lateral move". It's a backward move. By most accounts the Bears are a player or two away from being playoff competitive, but does drafting a bust at QB change that? That's ALL I'm asking.
@midwestbmc@94AndreRBryant @Blxwpipe @DannyParkins If Fields holds out he doesn't get paid. And the tag pays at (again, I think) in the range of the top 5 players at the position. And it's fully guaranteed. Fields wouldn't hold out; it makes no sense.
@94AndreRBryant@midwestbmc @Blxwpipe @DannyParkins Wut? If he isn't "the guy" then you don't franchise tag him, you let him walk. I don't think you understand why you franchise tag a player.
@midwestbmc@94AndreRBryant @Blxwpipe @DannyParkins Again, not answering my question, but, the Bears can franchise tag him for (I believe) 2 years? There will be cap implications, yes; I cede that - but no one is answering my initial question. What happens if Williams is a draft turd?
@Blxwpipe @DannyParkins Except, you're not? You've drafted a QB at #1, and not taken the draft capital or talent you could have gotten in return. Am I missing something?
@Blxwpipe @DannyParkins Opportunity Cost. Does no one understand opportunity cost? If, IF, you take Caleb AND he is a bust, then you forego the opportunity to trade for the draft picks that you would gotten for him. Therefore - you are not in the same spot!
