Merlino: Elon.. another narcissist?

10-17-26  carib

malignant narcissist.. indeed.

Maybe one should clarify if the issue is the primary deficit.. or the entire deficit.
Real debt stock should be deflated to calculate the actual variation.
lies, damn lies.. and statistics..

;^)

savo, i don't think he's a lunatic, but an extreme narcissist.

What happened to DOGE?
...............
Deficit mainly caused by interests on debt I guess. DOGE "savings" real or imaginary largely irrelevant.

10-17-26  savo

victor... yet the debt grew by 3 trillion... so my bet is that the real budget deficit was 3 trn... and the rest magic accounting

10-17-26  savo

lunacy...

President Trump maintained Monday that an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine was in place because he had secured both sides’ agreement, despite claims fromZelensky that Russia had continued striking Ukrainian energy sites.

“Well, they agreed,” Trump told reporters on his way to a midterm rally in Ohio. “Because I said, ‘You agree.’ That’s why they agreed, because I said they agree.”


so in Trump's mind if he says something it is true...not because it is true... but because he says so...

What happened to DOGE?

The US federal budget deficit for 2026 just came in. It's $1.992 trillion.

The 2026 reading is a 12% jump from 2025's $1.775 trillion deficit.

These final numbers came in the Treasury Department's Monthly Statement for September, which covers the final month in the US government's fiscal calendar.

Trump fulmina a su nueva secretaria de prensa, la menos longeva en la historia de la Casa Blanca

El presidente ha dicho a Katie Zacharia que debería “reconsiderar” su trabajo después de una semana en la que ha demostrado no estar a la altura del cargo

Ha pasado una semana desde que Donald Trump eligió a Katie Zacharia como su nueva portavoz de la Casa Blanca, pero su mal desempeño en la única rueda de prensa que ha ofrecido, la polémica por haber mentido sobre su formación de abogada y una pésima defensa en una entrevista con Fox News ya han convencido al presidente de que no es la indicada para el puesto.

“Sinceramente, si yo fuera tú, lo reconsideraría”, ha dicho Trump, citando su conversación de esta mañana con Zacharia, en declaraciones a los medios de comunicación antes de subir a su avión presidencial. Poco después, Fox News ha confirmado, citando a fuentes de la Administración, que la portavoz de Trump ya está “de salida” de la Casa Blanca, una información que ha contrastado The New York Times con tres fuentes oficiales.

Su despido, tras cinco días en el trabajo, convierte a Zacharia en la secretaria de prensa que menos tiempo ha ocupado el puesto en la historia de la Casa Blanca, superando a Anthony Scaramucci, que solo permaneció 11 días en el cargo durante el primer mandato de Trump.

Brent 110..

10-16-26  savo

Brent 110...

Veni unresponsive.

10-16-26  Merlino

he does not have a boss...
...................
I would say them both have the same boss (or bosses)

..also back in the Centerview website..

BANGKOK, Oct 16 (Reuters) - US financial services firm Centerview Partners ​remains the financial adviser for Venezuela's debt restructuring, ‌the country's top economic adviser said on Friday.

The Producer Price Index rose 1.3% from the month before and 6.3% from the year before, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Thursday morning. It’s a sharp upswing from August when wholesale prices rose 0.5% to an annual rate of 5.6%.



funny how this people report inflation... when they say "annual" they mean the past 12 months... not "annualized" as they do with GDP.

1.3 annualizes is: ...16.7% !!!!



when a big number is good (GDP)... they annualize it... when a big number is bad... they give a 12 months trailing figure

Savo: Successive Veny governments transformed a wealthy country into a poor one.. forcing a quarter of the population to emigrate.
The currency suffered a 99,999999% delavuation.
hence 0 credibility.

he does not have a boss... the fed is independent... or so they say
===

Yes ... tell me another one.

10-16-26  spal

all while claiming he is serious about fighting inflation...

===

Why would you not expect this to be confabulation? That is the default setting and my immediate assumption whenever I see the lips of these types moving.

10-16-26  savo

earth to carib!

veni has plenty of credibility... it never defaulted until the Satanist States concocted a plan to provoke a default and steal veni reserves.


10-16-26  savo

amateur... he does not have a boss... the fed is independent... or so they say

Savo, Warsh is working fot DT, who says UST 10y annual interest rate should be 1%, because of US merits. He is just moderating his boss mandates…

10-16-26  carib

Leo: given the debtor has plenty assets, but little cash, it is indeed reasonable to pay creditors essentially with assets, or with the product of such assets. Given the debtor has zero credibility, if left alone, there is the need not only of nominal US jurisdiction, but also of actual (military) control, IMHO.

10-16-26  savo

Powell was a true incompetent...delirious old man that coined the expression "transitory inflation"... or "symmetric inflation"

When one thought more incompetence was impossible came Warsh... this guys adds a level of unseen idiocy.

He tries to play hawk... but was have he done...? reduced M2? no.. reduced growth in M2? no...reduced the fed's balance sheet ?.. no

increased rates...? yes...25 bp in 7 months... is he kidding...? last cpi monthly print 0.6%... annualised 7.4%

all while claiming he is serious about fighting inflation...

10-16-26  leopardo

Warrants on oil production, warrants on GDP, shares in Pdvsa ora other companies...just to make some examples.

10-16-26  leopardo

Carib you are right that it is more difficult to give bondholders value with new debt.
Recovery value will be made mostrly of alternative instruments not debt, IMHO.

10-16-26  carib

All news can be relevant, but the only "sure" thing is they remain in default.
;-(

10-16-26  leopardo

Surely before year end some relevant news will come out.
