Germany may allow debt to rise above 80%/GDP to fund stimulus

Not trying to be snarky. But to help a little if you are worried if inflation and money printing etc.

It’s not exactly printing money as much as it sounds. Selling government bonds to increase money supply.

The money supply can be taken back out on maturity dates.

But stimulus is real. Not exactly thin air. We do have a quantity of real resources in the economy. There is not only bricks in the factory but cement in the ground To make more. Or clay or whatever bricks are made with lol.

We need to keep resources moving. We need food to be eating. So farmers can sell more food.

In deflationary spiral, the farmers go broke When people can’t or don’t buy. The beef is permanently halted from more being butchered and prepared. Since no one is buying burgers, no need to kill the cow. And all these other forms of products and services trickle through in other production chains. Permantly shutting doors forever.

You need injections of money. exchanging hands to keep the machine oiled and running. Keep all the gears moving.

Anyone who does not want this either wants things to be worse. Doesn’t understand the large picture. Or can benefit from things getting worse if they have a pile of cash to buy up businesses already in place like buying a foreclosed home at a discount.

I’d rather owe $10,000 personally I can eventually pay back. Then go jobless and lose $100’s of thousands of dollars forever in my future.

It’s naturally a bit more complicated. But no one wants bad times. But you have to fight on. Quitting is not an option.

Now more on my last comment.

HOW the money is used and where is a major thing to get right. Straight up bailouts help fight the worst case scenario. But we can use this as a massive opportunity to invest in a better future. Renewable energy. Infrastructure. Research. Things that need to be invested in anyways. But in good times. Those with resources and capital typically wanna keep things steady without shakeups so they can whine and dine and enjoy themselves with cars and parties and luxuries etc etc.

Well things are a bit screwed if you wanna enjoy your riches anyways. So this is great chance to increase spending on things that have been needed for a long time. As the politics are flipped.

We don’t like dieting until we get so unhealthy that we have to. This is kinda what we’re in. You get your six pack. And then it’s time to booze up with pretty girls until you get fat. (Old bridges worn out). And then you get back on the working path to get back into a better self to have a party again (rebuilding infrastructure)

Im fascinated by the lack news stories on FF/ Newsspread about the progress of the epidemic in the US.
Just so we all stay in touch with this important figure which POTUS advises us is totally under control, in factoring our economic impact analysis.. here it is for yesterday..

Well that is good news... seems corona gave us additional 5 years without worries due to debt life... When Greece was in seriously trouble almost 10 years ago... they said that anything beyond 90% is point of no return... So let's see what happens... I hope they can postpone the "inevitable", to buy us time to build raft

Pretty much

Quite right mate.. Thats what you feel? you guys just open up .. get back to normal and like you say its all BS.. If that works for you.. why not.. Viva Florida.
Next time I look at a DXY trade Ill check with your county to make sure that sentiment in local economy of your county syncs with my trade. PS Next time log in .. and use your member name.

So what does it mean? printing more money out of thin air?

This raising the debt ceiling is old hat the yanks have been doing it for years....
CUE: Buzz Lightyear!

Buy all stocks.

Ross,

Here is central Florida it is life as normal as can be with social distancing. It's 84 degrees, sunny and beautiful. In my county of 770,000 people we have (as of today see yahoo weather app) 698 confirmed cases and 43,210 confirmed cases in the entire state of Florida (population 22 Million). So for us...yeah it's pretty much under control and I have said in the past and will say again we should have NEVER shut down.

I speculate it is negative for the Euro. Just like US, other countries suffering. NZD is pretty much safe zone for now from Virus. Potential news to Short the Eur/NZD
