Will the US default? (It will happen when least people expect it)

0 sats \ 5 replies \ @Undisciplined 27 Dec 2023

I have no doubt that default is the end of this story, but there are a lot of different possible chapters between here and there.

What do you expect a US default to look like?

574 sats \ 1 reply \ @itsTomekK OP 31 Dec 2023

That US defaults and rest of the world doesnt?

USDX index below 20 maybe?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 31 Dec 2023

That's a great point. Americans tend to forget about the rest of the world. In all likelihood the world would be a complete disaster zone before the US had to default.

It means the US must cut spending 30% or more which is the portion of the budget that is financed by debt. The dollar will probably soar short term in that case and markets and assets will deflate and likely stay deflated even when inflation picks back up.

Why? Because the judges, the congress, the military, the police, you name it will still be in place. So nothing will actually change. They will double down on stupidity and make even worse economic policies and borrow, print and spend even harder after a while. So the beginning of the end if anything. But lets see.

Fair. I just meant it's the end of this particular debt story.

Conventional wisdom is that a US default would have the opposite effect on the dollar, since the whole "full faith and credit" thing would be severely devalued and US Treasuries would no longer be treated as "risk free" assets.

Your are not wrong. However, there is no great alternative to the dollar, so it will still be the safe haven asset for most people. Hard to explain i guess, But lets see.

To you and @phantom, I think the more interesting question is how many ballots he'll appear on.

241 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 27 Dec 2023

That's my guess too, but a lot of election officials have gone rogue over the past few years and paid zero consequences for doing so.

Will we see any notable names on the Epstein client list or will it be cherry-picked?

Will any of them be those kind of clients?

Will any of those kind of clients be prosecuted to the full extent of the law?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 27 Dec 2023

It will almost certainly be cherry-picked, but that doesn't mean there won't be any notable names. There will be people who get thrown under the bus and probably some of the well known associates (Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, etc.) will be listed for the sake of credibility.

I also expect some token prosecutions and civil suits, because I think they know that public concerns over this topic need to be addressed.

Which EU country will default first and trigger a cascade pushing the ECB to bail out the union? Will Germany still have an industrial base with their current energy policy? Will Zelensky be left to its own fate for the West to focus on a newer, shinier war?
