As Obama Says He Will Veto Any Republican "Cut, Cap" Deficit Bill, Long Bond "Dragged To Slaughter House"
Just because someone is dead set on making Apple the only flight to safety in the world (and Gold of course, but unlike the iPad one can't really eat this particular tradition), around the time (10 minutes ago) Obama threatened he would veto the Republican proposed vote to raise the debt ceiling coupled with a cap on spending and balanced budget amendment to the constitution, the selling off spilled over to Treasurys, which as the chart below demonstrates are broadly lower across the curve, but most emphasized at the 30 Year spot, which as Russ Certo says (see below) is being "dragged to the slaughter house." Alas, judging by bank trading today the 2s30s steepening is completely irrelevant for bank stocks, for the simple reason that i) nobody needs any new mortgages and ii) nobody actually pays their mortgages. This is the second day since last week in which there is coordinated selling in stocks and bonds. Expect much more bond weakness with each day there is no bond deal.
Commenting on the move, Gleacher's Russ Certo told Bloomberg that “vigilantes make a symbolic statement” about debt ceiling negotiations. "It’s the issue most sensitive to government ineptitude” Certo says of 30-yr bond "It’s all about the long bond as the 10-yr is being dragged to the slaughter house." We couldn't have said it better.

solid gold I-Pads bitchez!
Eat your Peas Bitchez!
Every time Obama and Michelle open their yaps, things just get worse.
I like peas (and brocolli too, Mr. Bush), so I will eat what I want, even if Michelle likes her greasy food and hectoring us...
$1600 gold, bitchez!
you mean her 1,700 cal burger and frys with her diet coke for good mesure.
Fat Ass
Hectoring: nice word. Haven't heard that before. Sums up the first wookie pretty well. Let them eat cake. What's so sad about these two is that it took a black man sooo many years to reach the highest political office and this guy will ruin it for decades for any others that want to follow. Where is a David Palmer?...
that seems to be a recurring theme with diversity...they fuck up everything they come into contact with. Free homes, cities, states, turnkey countries...nothing is built strong enough to withstand their corrosion.
You forgot continents.
Amoral tribalism; not a successful species perpetuating strategy.
Agree, that is poetry. I also think the republicans have to pass something then let the chips fall where they may.

Push the bill to his desk, let him veto. Checkmate!
That's racist.

Where are all the Dem Hope & Change types posting here saying both parties are the same? The GOP is no prize but the Dems are pure evil.
So you voted for Ralph Nader in 2008?
Perhaps it was Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party)...
Perhaps. Well Freddie?
Freddie does not use Facts.. he is hooked on a feeling!
Evangelicals like Freddie have kept the lie going!
Hang ALL of the Lobby Whores!
maybe we should consider Hanging their ignorant supporters? it would not hurt America in the Long Term to be less a few million idiots!
Dude, it's all just professional wrestling. Who's the bad guy this week and who's turn is next?

>> The GOP is no prize but the Dems are pure evil.
So you give a pass on the whole Grahm-Leach-Blailey Bill and the tax cuts for the rich and the two unnecessary wars that are squarely on the Republicans? Any chance these three things are very foundations for our financial situation today? I'd be more inclined to rate the Dems as bumbling criminals and the Repubs as professional sociopaths bent on the destruction of our country for the benefit of the wealthy. But that's just me.

Seems a lot of pro-hussein c*** s****ers are still on ZH.
And GOPsuckers too, apparently.
Bro.. he is a waste of time. No amount of facts.. no amount of information has in any way awakened him to the Fact that both parties are out to get "We the People".
Dog and Pony Show is above his head, it is most likely genetic.. you can fix stupid so save yourself the grief.
Or use him for a punching bag? but picking on the mentally handicap is not a nice thing to do.
"If you give me something I don't want, I'll veto it! And then, um, well, I'll be forced to cut more then you were saying I should cut. Um . . just a minute, I didn't let go of my chips yet."
Timmy is the ultimate chip he has. The president can blow this shit right open and have the new treasury guy destroy the opposing party and TPTB through "open" government. Timmy little whisper on the fifth that he was gonna be out after the deal was classic double speak to signal that the president had a bargaining chip so the elites better shape up or they don't get to pick the new guy.
In essence if things don't go as Mr. Presidents want then the next 18 months will be framed with the treasury department sending out wave after wave of propaganda as the new guy discovers terrible financial atrocities.
You don't seem to be paying attention! This is WWE...it's not "real"!!
The "opposing party" is controlled opposition and part of the charade...both parties are fully paid for by TPTB; Obomber is TPTB's Manchurian Candidate and is working to a script; the budget "negotiations" are a shadow boxing show for the masses and designed solely to achieve handing budgetary power from the "intractable" Congress to the "decisive" POTUS. Then, game over.
I want you to know I didn't junk you.
You are correct that both sides are bought. But this is the Presidents chip that he will bring to the table. reverse the idea. what if the new guy is decided together as part of the "deal" this lets both parties appear to be working together-also know as both sides claiming victory.
What EVER! the Republicans are offering SUCKS!! for "We the People"!!
What EVER! the Democrats are offering SUCKS!! for "WE the People"!!
They ALL need to be HUNG! for Treason! "We the People" need REAL! PEOPLE!! to stand up and lead this Country!
No matter what they (BOTH PARTIES) come up with, it will HURT NOT HELP AMERICA!
"We the People" are being robbed Blind! Raped!! and You Fuckers are discussing which Party has the littlest dick? so it will hurt the least!
If you like dick in your ass thats your business! but dont try to talk everyone else into enjoying it with YOU!!
NO! MEANS!! NO!!!

You said it man. We need to raise up and fight the machine.
I guess this means we will never have a balanced budget amendment.
No way this country can repay its debt.
Looks like we are pretty much guaranteed an run-away inflationary depression
Don't need a balanced budget amendment. Just don't raise the ceiling. Done.
I like it! I like it! Bam!
Priorities forced overnight!

"DONE!"
Thunderdome, bitchez!
I do like the whole Mad Max thing. Mel Gibson's Finest Hour.
If we used Thunderdome here - a great idea I might add - would it be Barack carried on Michelle's back, or Michelle carried on Barack's back?
Hmm, kind of an ugly image there.
Best not to over think that.
I dont think President Urkell could carry MaBell for long.
I'd sure as shit hate to carry her around on my back. She's an easy deuce+. Her thighs and ass alone weigh 100 pounds.
"Looks like we are pretty much guaranteed an run-away inflationary depression"
I would take the opposite stance and say we're well into the initial stages deflationary depression, but we all have our opinions. The danger comes in being so certain of any particular outcome that you fail to remain objective. I believe deflation is inevitable, prior to hyperinflation, and I've positioned myself accordingly, but I've learned a lot in the last few years, and the one thing I know for certain is that I can't be certain of anything under current conditions, and neither can anyone else.
Much of it probably hangs on if, whether, & when they decide to actually PRINT dollars to match the debt that has been conjured into existence...
& that will depend on whether the CB's are granted enough time to siphon off & warehouse enough hard goods (the 'productivity' of labor) to make the REBOOT have to go thru them again... Until then, it's just a game of keeping the monthly nut going long enough to be able to print the debt to steal the loot...
When they decide they have enough in the bag... They'll print the bejezzus out of notes an han them over to J6P & co... Whereby they can be redeemed for exactly SQUAT...
I am trying really hard to understand this position, as a few very smart people have suggested to me that we're going to face a deflationary depression. How is that possible? The price of everything (other than real estate) seems to be rising. Higher end car manufacturers, for example, just raised prices across the board. I'm just trying to understand the argument that we're facing such a depression.
Answer to GiantWang's query - IMHO:
The global economy was operating for an extended period fueled by debt. Raised GDP; created economic activity - all is well. But when you remove the long-term debt-produced stimulus (govt and private debt) the economy falters. Its my opinion that this debt-driven economy covered up the loss of US manufacturing - and created a period with a false economy. We are now seeing the results, and it isn't pretty.
The debt is creating an economic drag, and because people don't have as much credit or money, they can't spend it on houses and the like; hence the value of those assets goes down. Interest rate increases (inevitable) will continue to reduce affordability for housing - but right now we're de-leveraging. Houses will come back down until they are affordable.
The inflationary forces can come from shortages. We see that in commodities, but not in labor. Not a lot of raises - too many people for too few jobs. Inflation can also be abetted by it's cousin "Currency debasement" meaning your dollars buy fewer goods/services; and/or cost more. We are missing "velocity" right now - a key component of inflation.
If the govt continues to spend and 'monetize' the debt they dilute the dollar. This can result increase prices for imported goods. If they do this for too long and the prices start heading up, people start to notice; and start buying goods "now" because it'll cost more tomorrow. That creates the velocity (money changes hands faster and starts to chase hard goods/assets).
If you look at the Latin countries in the 1980s (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico) - all had borrowed money, but the credit dried up. In order to not 'default' the started printing money to 'pay off' their obligations. This created incredible inflation. Brazil kept issuing new currencies with zeros... In Argentina their currency was devalued - losing about 75% of its value in 2-3 days. The result: kicked the economic rug out from under the people; created incredible poverty; and simultaneously they had a worthless hyper-inflating currency.
Depending on your definitions, this is a circumstance where both deflation can occur while having your fiat currency evaporate before your eyes (inflationary in terms of fiat).
The US is heading straight down the same path.
As people become more and more concerned, they look to exchange their fiat currency for other assets. Stocks, gold/silver, other people's fiat (Swiss franc on a tear), artwork. Common folks will buy anything they think they can barter with.
This scenario was described by Marx. If you are a marxist, you destroy the rule of law, and the middle-class (typically small business or professionals politically resist as the rich can simply dance around the problem). You wipe out middle-class wealth via fiat destruction; more people become dependent on govt; 'emergency' powers are vested in the executive, who suspends civil rights, information flow, etc. Need look no further than Hugo Chavez or the President of Argentina; or the Bolsheviks; or FDR for that matter (not kidding). You can look at this and draw your own conclusion about the current US administration.
So plan for asset depreciation, commodity price acceleration; higher interest rates; declining dollar value; and with uncertainty, increasing gold/silver prices.
Also plan to have long-term stored food. You can't eat silver.
ya, that post made me look dumb.
why should we repay bankers money they conjured from thin air plus interest?
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.
One reason is that it prevents armed men in black suits from kicking your door in.
Because they can't keep the scam running if they don't make us repay them with REAL money for the money "borrowed" from them as whiff-of-nothing fake money.
If you had control of the greatest scam in human history, providing you endless wealth for no effort, you'd be reluctant to give it up!

If they had any integrity and credibility at all S&P should downgrade the US immediately on those comments today by The Teleprompter, alone.
Unless anyone is deluded enough to believe there's a veto-proof majority in CONgress (which hasn't even bothered to pass a budget since April 2009) for anything remotely resembling "a credible solution to the rising U.S. government debt burden" as demanded by them to keep the US at (laughably) AAA rated, that is.
Europe closing shop for the night, so time for the Teleprompter to bang on the dollar to ease the equity pain?

The ZH ability to simplify the complex is profound.
i) nobody needs any new mortgages and
ii) nobody actually pays their mortgages.
They are deliberately hyping up the drama about the debt ceiling, and pumping up the fear in order incite a "Hell Squeeze" once Obama announces his stimulus plan.
'Obamas stimulus plan' AHH HA HA HAAAAA!!
The only STIMULUS that the status quo would dig at this point is a helicopter drop of cold hard, stinkin' cash.
It's coming...
It'll be just in time for the 2012 elections... They'll be crisp new $10,000 notes with Obama's portrait...
"In God We Trust" will be replaced with "4 more years"
It'll take 5 of them to buy a "(yes we) CAN of catfood (which you can kick own the road for entertainment after eating it with a side of peas)...
Mr Lennon, francis,
That's what I see too. Obama will try to buy the election by dumping cash into the hands of the 50% (+/-) who don't pay income tax.
"We're saved! Barack Obama saved us!"
And then four more years... Peas and catfood...
Bush did it. Why wouldn't Obama?
Indeed, why not?
$1000 FRNs, bitchez!
And it did nothing to spur economic productivity... but yet the FED/administration/congress decided to try test after test... each failing the same...
Yeah at least Bush gave some of the money back to the people in the form of stimulus. Obama has just been bailing out the banks, both foreign and domestic, behind closed doors for his whole term. The first wookie has been living it up as well on our dime much more so than Laura ever did. She is without a doubt the 21st century Marie Antoinette. I would not be surprised to see him send out crumbs to the masses as a last ditch effort for reelection.

Obama might pay lip service to that infrastructure stimulus he has been talking about for the last 4 years, but where will he find the money to support any meaningful stimulus? --Oh, I forgot ..

Again, no one seems to be considering that our president wants a US default. With so little time left on the ticking time bomb clock, it would be very easy to achieve this outcome.
As long as he can blame it on someone else and gain politically from it I think you might just be right.
That's where he is wrong. The American people are firm believers in the term "The buck stops here". If we default then he owns it and will be unable to spin it off as anyone else's fault lest he look impotent and weak as a leader. In fact he would look downright childish if he tried.
RIGHT Cdad, in this here WWE show everyones following Vince McMahons script, watching the 2 buxom blonds throw each other on the limos hood and pull each others hair, while ignoring the other scene where a default is whats really being planned, as the N.W.O. tag team steps into the ring.
Pretty insane that was actually the name of pro wrestlers?
In the coming days, we will hear it in his voice and in his words. Expect his tongue to become very sharp, and his rhetoric to become one of "preparing" for the possibility of "transitory liquidity" problems in funding markets, vague talk of prioritizing of spending, possible last ditch Treasury plans that "could" be deployed...basically talking options while shifting of political blame to the Republicans.
And those Rs in the House...they damn well better pass that balanced budget amendment tomorrow...or the blame will indeed fall to them.
This is going to get very ugly very quickly in my opinion.
Everybodys, SheepDog, Cdad,
Very good comments.
YES, it is going to get very ugly soon. Europe shows us what's coming in the macro. Obama will show us his fangs again real soon.
Cdad as you know Im well beyond any political WWE show, I think suddenly none of it will matter any longer as people are directed to their local Walmart law enforcement center for processing and food ration micro chipping, depending of course on how much they 'contributed' according to the value of their 401K, which was just seized and is now 'annuitized' by the Treasury-here. The Treasury Is Soliciting Your Feedback Regarding The Proposed Annuitization Of 401(k) | zero hedge
BTW thats not a joke, I found it weird theres a new police station operations center behind the Walmart here.
I never had a 401(k), but I did have an IRA. Until I cashed it in (late 2008, right after Obama won the election), paid my taxes and penalties, and now sleep better at night for it.
A lot of that money went into physical gold.
That is weird, Dog. But there is SO MUCH weird stuff going on these days...hard to sort them out.
The banker chatter on the BlowHorn [CNBC] just now was entirely absurd, with some banker named Castellini suggesting that the only reason we are struggling with the debt issue is that "we have chosen to focus on it now." Umm...seriously? You mean it is not the inevitability that tens of trillions cannot and will not ever be paid back...because it is impossible.
Of course, some other banker twat chimed in with...wait for it...equity "valuations at ALL TIME lows." Uh huh.
Banker denial is running very high right now, which should only heighten the fear when Obama's rhetoric continues to be unproductive.
The quarrelling politicians go down with the ship while the oligarchs and prized minions party at 30,000 feet en route to their overseas compounds. The ship was bound to go down--why not now?
Sure, they leave some money on the table at this point . . . but might that not be just for the sake of plausible deniability? Most if it is, after all, OPM. Look at insider sell/buy stats for the last two years.
Hell, if it goes down now, democracy could take the blame. Or the poor. If this thing played out long and slow, on the other hand, that just wouldn't fly. The rich would be roasting on spits.
If it's going to happen anyway, why not frame the discussion that "the evil GOP" did it. Re-election 2012 assured. He is a Cloward-Pivens acolyte isn't he?
obama is the one who should be dragged to the slaughter house. Oh wait, they have standards and don't want diseased meat....

Didnt S&P say $4 trillion in cuts minimum must be made? Somethings insane here....OH RIGHT its the whole damn world.
What a joke.
We're running an annual deficit of $1.7 Trillion. Even if the $4 Trillion of cuts OVER 10 YEARS were credible, which they wouldn't be no matter what because no congressman in 2021 will care what was promised in 2011. Even if those spending cuts were credible, that's "only" $400 billion a year. The annual deficit is 4.25 times that much!

Cougar, you could be right. Everyone is focused on the horrors of default and the debt ceiling but the real question is about the ongoing deficit and the size of fedgov. Debt creates an obligation (lien) on future income. We act like it is no big deal but what we are really doing is obligating future taxpayers to come up with enough income to offset our expenses and consumption today. It is our children and their children who will have to pay the bill. Now ain't that responsible on our part!!!

The pucker factor meter has been pegged for months now. The situation probably can't get any worse, but the affects sure as hell can.
I wish Obama would grow up and act like an adult. You can't always get the candy you want. I assure you he wants the 2 trillion now so it is not an issue for 2012 and the republicans want much less, so the "brilliant one" Geithner has to come back again and again to ask for more. That will keep it in the public focus. Not what Obama wants.
