Essentially the new Fed will manage our $38 trillion in debt [View all]

through soft default and devaluation disguised as financial engineering and steadfast bedrock finance.

Hide the debt in banks and Stablecoin through the Genius Act, play footsie with the Treasury for public policy, and hope AI leads to productivity improvements to grow the economy and create more tax revenues. Any shortfalls to be paid by inflating away your money!

It's QE Quantitative Easing in sleight-of-hand form. Tangible assets, profit-producing businesses, are the only places to hide.

And by profit-producing businesses, I include stocks that grow successfully.

This is supply-side all over again! Same ol' GOP playbook to enrich the rich and plunder the poor.
