Federal Reserve’s $8.5 Trillion Debt Bomb That’s Shaping Interest Rate Policy Behind the Scenes

*********** Video Breakdown ***********

As we approach the next FOMC meeting, the market’s pricing in a Fed pivot, sooner than later. With betting market’s putting the odd’s the Fed cuts rates in early 2024. However when you ask Jerome Powell, he says the opposite, that they aren’t even considering a change in policy anytime soon, not until they are sufficiently convinced inflation is firmly back down to 2%.

Well it turns out the Federal Reserve may have another reason why pivoting on the current monetary policy may not only be possible, but required. We often discuss the wall of corporate and commercial real estate loan maturities coming in 2024, well it turns out the U.S. Government also has a wave of loan maturities scheduled in 2024, $8.5 trillion worth!

We look at what this means for the possibility of interest rate policy, how it can impact the U.S. economy in 2024, what it could mean for the U.S. housing market, and what happens when these loans mature.

What do you think will happen? How much in renewed interest expense do you think the U.S. will face if the Fed keeps interest rates this high? Well make sure to watch to find out!

This week marks a decade since the collapse of the US investment bank Lehman Brothers triggered the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression.
What became known as the Global Financial Crisis saw banks collapse and even whole countries teeter on the brink of insolvency.
While much of the world fell into prolonged recession, Australia’s economy narrowly avoided that fate – but 10 years on, many individual Australians are still paying the price.
Now, there are new warnings from financial insiders that the global economy could be even more vulnerable to a repeat meltdown.

In a nation whose debt has outgrown the size of its entire economy, the greatest threat comes not from any foreign force but from Washington politicians who refuse to relinquish the intoxicating power to borrow and spend. Senator Tom Coburn reveals the fascinating, maddening story of how we got to this point of fiscal crisis-and how we can escape.

Long before America’s recent economic downturn, beltway politicians knew the U.S. was going bankrupt. Yet even after several so-called “change” elections, the government has continued its wasteful ways in the face of imminent danger. With passion and clarity, Coburn explains why Washington resists change so fiercely and offers controversial yet commonsense solutions to secure the nation’s future.

At a time when millions of Americans are speculating about what is broken in Washington, The Debt Bomb is a candid, thoughtful, non-partisan expose of the real problems inside our government. Coburn challenges the conventional wisdom that blames lobbyists, gridlock, and obstructionism, and places the responsibility squarely where it belongs: on members of Congress in both parties who won’t let go of the perks of power to serve the true interests of the nation-unless enough citizens take bold steps to demand action.

“Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” -John Adams

Throughout a distinguished career as a business owner, physician, and U.S. senator, Tom Coburn has watched his beloved republic careen down a suicidal path. Today, the nation stands on the precipice of financial ruin, a disaster far more dangerous to our safety than any terrorist threats we face. Yet Coburn believes there is still hope-if enough Americans are willing to shake the corridors of Washington and demand action.

With an insider’s keen eye and a caregiver’s deft touch, Coburn diagnoses the mess that career politicians have made of things while misusing their sacred charge to govern.
Coburn’s incisive analysis:
Reveals the root causes of America’s escalating financial crisis Exposes Washington’s destructive appetite for wasteful spending, power grabs, backroom deals, and quick non-fixes Rises above partisanship to implicate elected officials of all stripes in steering the nation off course Lays out a commonsense guide to restoring order Concludes with a clarion call and sound advice for Americans who would dedicate themselves to defusing the debt bomb Above all, Coburn believes the United States can continue as a beacon of opportunity for future generations-but how we act today will determine whether we deliver the nation to our children and grandchildren fully alive, on life support, or without a pulse.

The debt bomb is ticking. The U.S. Treasury says our national debt will hit twenty-eight trillion dollars by 2018. This means that every single day you keep your savings in paper-backed investments, the Federal Reserve destroys your money, your stocks, your savings account, your 401K. But just as the debt has more than tripled in the last decade, so have gold and gas. Gold and gas track debt more than any other assets on earth. So if the debt is doubling to $28 trillion by 2018, where do you think your money needs to be? Gold has been the greatest hedge against currency collapse the world has ever known, and gold has been the world’s wealth preserver of choice for over 5000 years.
