US macro data crashed to its weakest since Feb 2016 (when the world was worried about global recession)...


And while Hard data has been weak, it is the 'soft' data that is now collapsing (surprise!!)


For just the 2nd day in the last two weeks, the dollar index rallied,

"I don't want to be in the market because I don't know when the plug is going to get pulled"...the government's "plunge protection team" is the only thing propping up the current market rally.

The government’s "plunge protection team" is the only thing propping up the current market rally, and said he suspects that it has again been recently seen intervening in the market to keep stocks at record highs.  Edelman simply notes that he doesn’t want to be in the markets right now because I don’t know when the plug is going to be pulled."

The “plunge protection team” was created by President Ronald Reagan one year after the stock market crash in 1987, when the president called for the creation of the “Working Group on Financial Markets.”

Forgot Thursday's OPEC meeting: its outcome, fully priced in by the market, has no impact on the price of oil. What does is China, and specifically whether the sudden, recent slowdown in accumulation for its strategic petroleum reserve, means that some 1.2 million in Chinese oil imports are about to flood the market...

Senate Democrats in Illinois are pushing ahead with a new budget proposal that includes a massive personal and corporate income tax hike and an expansion of the state's sales tax, after saying they are no longer willing to wait for a broader deal with Republicans.  In all, the package is expected to cost Illinois taxpayers an incremental $5 billion.

At 11am on Tuesday, the Trump administration will unveil the deepest cuts to government programs in a generation, proposing to cut $3.6 trillion in spending over 10 years across all discretionary spending and non-discretionary spending.

The full proposal, titled A New Foundation for American Greatness,” is expected at 11 a.m. Eastern. The proposal relies on a mix of cuts to anti-poverty programs, optimistic economic forecasting and deep cuts to nondefense discretionary funding to meet its targets. It would not touch Social Security and Medicare, which Trump promised to leave alone during his campaign. 

The budget would also dramatically shift spending to the Pentagon from domestic programs. In 2018, the budget would shift $54 billion from nondefense discretionary spending to defense by enacting major cuts to the State Department, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture and other agencies.

the White House budget is based on the assumption that the expansion that started in June 2009 will last at least until December 2027, an unprecedented 222 consecutive months of growth. This has never happened before...



Presidential budgets are pure hocus-pocus. The politically-connected get their share of the loot, and the mainstream media gets to scream and shout about "cuts" that aren't really cuts at all.

The coup d’etat has been successful. The Deep State - a.k.a. the police state, a.k.a. the military industrial complex - has taken over. The American system of representative government has been overthrown by a profit-driven, militaristic corporate state bent on total control and global domination through the imposition of martial law here at home and by fomenting wars abroad.

Japan has managed to offset decades of deflationary dynamics, but at a cost that is hidden beneath the surface of apparent stability. Do we implode in a deflationary death spiral (ice) or in an inflationary death spiral (fire)?

Offshore Yuan tumbled as Moody's cut China's credit rating to A1 from Aa3, saying that the outlook for the country’s financial strength will worsen, with debt rising and economic growth slowing. This leaves the world's hoped-for reflation engine rated below Estonia, Qatar, and South Korea and on par with Slovakia and Japan.

US President Donald Trump’s strong support for Saudi Arabia on his visit to Riyadh is likely to backfire, creating a backlash against the United States across the Middle East, analysts told Sputnik on Tuesday.  University of Louvain Professor Jean Bricmont said. "The Saudis are intensely hated in the Arab [and] Muslim world and their open subservience to the United States and Israel won’t help."

On May 20, US President Donald Trump and King Salman of Saudi Arabia inked the largest single arms sales deal in United States history, worth a staggering US$350 billion. It marks a continuation of the longstanding and cosy relationship between the two countries, a coupling many consider toxic for both the US and the wider world.

Every conventional “solution” to the systemic ills of our economy and society boils down to some version of free money: Universal Basic Income (UBI) schemes– free money for everyone, funded by borrowing from future taxpayers (robots, people, Martians, any fantasy will do); debt jubilees funded by central banks creating trillions out of thin air, a.k.a. free money, and so on.

Free money is compelling because, well, it’s free, and it solves all the problems created by burdensome debt and declining incomes for the bottom 95%. Just give every household $100,000 of free money that must be devoted to reducing interest, then give every household $20,000 annually for being among the living, and hey, a lot of problems go away.

But is creating money out of thin air really truly free? There are two appealing answers: yes and yes. If the Treasury literally prints money, it’s almost “free,” and if the Federal Reserve creates money and buys bonds paying near-zero yields, the money that is borrowed into existence is almost free because the interest due is so minimal.

The problem, of course, is that creating free money is not quite the same as creating new wealth. New wealth is a new gas/oil field that comes online, new cropland that produces a new source of food, new goods and services, etc.
