The bond market is voting the only way the the Mango freaks understand; with its rates on the “big,
beautiful”, reckless bill.
From Forbes:
Counterpoint: Why The Crash May Not Materialize
While the risks are real, a full-blown crash isn’t guaranteed. The U.S. still retains key advantages: (a) the world’s reserve currency, (2) deep and liquid capital markets, and (3) a resilient, innovation-driven economy.
The Federal Reserve has shown it can act decisively in times of stress. The trade-tensions sparked by tariffs are already easing, and the market bounce-back reflects that.
Moreover, global alternatives remain limited - making U.S. assets, even at higher yields, relatively attractive. If inflation remains contained and growth holds up, markets could digest higher rates without unraveling. In this more benign scenario, the Moody’s downgrade becomes a wake-up call - not a trigger for collapse.
Jobs numbers are more relevant.
Do you honestly believe the bond market will crash?
The debt doesn't matter, it's irrelevant, don't worry about it.

Is this the new pearl clutching talking point? I remember when it was the stock market and tariffs
not so long ago. I guess there will always be something, amirite?
Exactly. Pay attention Baron. You voted for instability and chaos.

Selective memory?
From October 25, 2022 until December 13, 2024, 3-month U.S. Treasury bill yields exceeded those of 10-year U.S. Treasury notes.
Who was President?
True, but economic growth would have been choked off if taxes were allowed to go up.
Government spending provides a mere sugar rush to the economy AND is the major cause of inflation.
Pick your poison.
So which one is it Curls? You now advocating more reckless Mango tax cuts and spending
for growth? Jeez.
See above. I'm an equal opportunity political critic.

I take it that this is a no to the question then?
