In the
12 months ended March 31, total federal revenues were $3.263 trillion: 1.3%
lower than the $3.31 trillion reported one year ago, and the fourth
consecutive month of declines. This was the biggest
drop since the summer of 2008. Meanwhile, government
spending in March just hit an all time high

"As
fees go up by half-a-percent, we reach into the client’s balance sheet, snatch
the half-a-percent, and turn it into income; it’s almost magic -
capital into income... but we lower the savings rate of our clients (savings
and investment rate) by half-a-percent as our fees go up, so we get short term GDP kick from our income, at the expense
of lower long-term growth on the part of the system."

In an effort
to keep its stake below 10%, Berkshire Hathaway has dumped 7.13 million shares of Wells Fargo in the last 2 days and intends to sell 1.86 million more shortly. The
after-hours reaction in the stock is negative, dropping the bank's share price to its lowest since
Nov 2016, despite reassurances from Buffett that this is a more
technical sale.

"The elite appear to have a great deal in store for President Trump’s
first four years... quite a few tricks up their sleeves, if you
will. The wars are already being manifested; but the
larger elements of financial upheaval may take years to play out, even
if there are a number of chaotic events, a bit of panic, and more of the great
squeeze that is sucking the vitality of the country dry.
Get ready for some big potential downturns."

Is this the end of stimulative monetary policy?
Only until the Fed and the academicians realize their Goldilocks
economy is sham and they have
to double down to prevent another recession. Because stimulus is all they know how to do.
And they reject completely the benefits of a healthy, healing, old-fashioned
depression.

this morning that, for now, the market has chosen to ignore. He warned "we

the national debt as The Fed held rates at zero during his term?)

La seudo democ y sist duopolico es obsoleto por fraudulento y

It is now increasingly clear that the Trump
administration is going to be at least four
years of endless war, budget-busting
spending, massive deficits, and more big government in general. His
demonstrated preference is not for addressing the issues that won him the Rust
Belt states. He's
a war president now, and has better things to do

Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign
"It was never supposed to be this close. And of course she was supposed
to win. How Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump is the
tragic story of a sure thing gone off the rails. For every Comey revelation or
hindsight acknowledgment about the electorate, no explanation of defeat can begin with
anything other than the core problem of Hillary's campaign--the candidate
herself."

Bondholders confirmed that Venezuela's state-owned oil company PDVSA made principal and interest
payments of $2.2 billion today, avoiding default yet again despite what Vice
President Tareck El Aissami called a "ruthless economic war" being waged against the Maduro government. That's the
good news, the bad news is that PDVSA
has $62 billion more in principal and interest due over the next few
years.
According to United Press International, China
has ordered its military to be on nationwide alert, in addition to areas near
the North Korea border, as tensions escalate on the peninsula.

Amid attempts to "clarify

actions happen again."

Flash points on US
politics: internal contradict.. Hugh Smith good articles reproduced
If anything defined the postwar
economy between 1946 and 1999, it was the exodus of the middle class from
cities to suburbs and the glorification of what Jim Kunstler calls Happy
Motoring: freeways, cars and trucks, ten lanes of private vehicles, the vast
majority of which are transporting one person.
Ol’ 55 (freeway
cars and trucks) (written by Tom Waits, performed by The Eagles)
The build-out of suburbia drove
growth for decades: millions of new suburban homes, miles of
new freeways, sprawling shopping malls, and tens of millions of new autos,
trucks, and SUVs, transforming one-car households into three vehicle households.
Then there was all the furnishings for those expansive new homes, and the
credit necessary to fund the homes, vehicles, furnishings, etc.
Now the Millennial generation is
turning its back on both of these bedrock engines of growth. As various metrics
reveal, the Millennials are fine with taking Uber to work, buying their shoes
from Zappos (return them if they don’t fit, no problem), and making whatever
tradeoffs are necessary to live in urban cores.
Simply put, the natural progression of this generation
is away from suburban malls, suburban home ownership and the car-centric
commuter lifestyle that goes with suburban homeownership.
Saddled with insanely high
student debt loads imposed by the rapaciously predatory higher education
cartel, Millennials avoid additional debt like the plague. Millennials
have relatively high savings rates. As for a lifetime of penury to service
debt–hey, they already have that, thanks to their “I borrowed $100,000 and all
I got was this worthless college degree” student loans.
