Half a Trillion deficits in just 1 month. How are institutions still lending to US govt for 30Y at just 5%?

Why do you think bonds are nearing 5%?

They know the inflation numbers are bullshit and the US is running Great Recession levels of deficit trying to barely keep everything together.

Rejoice! You are about to see what happens when MMT meets its asymptote.

>174b for medicare

>>62588418
Because every other country endlessly prints money too.

>Medicare and Social Security at the top
wtf same as Europe then? I wonder if Canada and Australia suffer from the same thing. Boomers really did a number on the entire western world, you have to laugh to keep from crying!
>>
>>62588858
Medicare/medicaid constitutes about 25% of the total Federal budget. It has grown 80% in the last decade and the rate of increase is accelerating.
>>
>>62588880
Do you like creamy pasta that has been jerked into?
>>
>>62588954
No idea why people oppose socialized healthcare in the US. Everyone pays taxes into it and they never realize it kek

Aside from the usual ratings rigging and inertia like the HQLA classification for US bonds, financial institutions are pretty much forced to buy bonds at gunpoint.
Want to be FDIC insured? Better buy bonds bucko.
Want that QE relief on your bad bags? Bonds first.

The banks don’t really like bonds because they know it’s an inflation trap and opportunity loss. But they are given enough carrot and stick to keep them buying anyways.

Keep in mind that outside the US in other deficit nations it’s even worse.
China essentially forces everyone there to buy government bonds by making everything else illegal or shitty.
Russia just outright orders “free market” banks to buy government bonds.
Eurozone is also pretty bad and rigged.
And again, the US is also being terrible about this.

Everyone needs $US so morons worrying about it is a waste of time, just get rich bitch

same shit in France

the government takes loans to pay boomer pensions

Yep.
>Medicare
Old People, and Fatties, but mostly old people.
>Social Security
Definitely old people
>Interest.
Punishment for the previous financial sins of old people in Congress.
>Defense
To blow up brown people on behalf of old people.
>Health
Old people again.
>Income security
A bit less heavy on the old people side, which is probably why it’s closer to the bottom.
But olds still make up the largest demographic with more than 40% of income security spending, children are less than 27% of spending for comparison.
>Veterans
Old people who happen to have been zogbots
>Other
The Smithsonian, National Parks, and other things old people occasionally use.
>Justice
To protect old people from urban youths.
>Transportation
To move around old people.

Fiscally we’re pretty much a retirement home with McNukes stacked on top.

You can pretty easily blackpill progressives by pointing all this out to them until they understand that not a single cent will EVER be spent on walkable cities, solar roofs, or whatever it is young/middle aged yuppies are exited about.
Even if they vote for their favorite progressive politician to raise taxes it won’t matter, they’ll never get anything back from it.

It’s also pretty funny when compared to the line items on China’s budget. Even if you assume 40% of the budget are lies and the other 40% are just graft for CCP insiders (Which is probably true, the CCP does have a lot of billionaires after all).
Even assuming that, that’s still 10-20% of spending going to actual infrastructure and tangible things that young and working class people can theoretically use to be more productive, or get a paid a wage to help build it.
Which is a hell of a lot more than the American government spends on those things.
Both China and the US have the same % of GDP going to their governments ironically enough, so it’s a very apt comparison.
One just seems to spend their money more productively.

>domestic expenditure

decoupled funny money that gets moved abroad to keep the wolves from the door
