US Treasury: Winning The Future, One Math Failure At A Time

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We just ran across a newswire headline that said what we have been warning about for about a month: "US Treasury auction to take US over debt ceiling on Monday." As a result, we took a look at today's DTS update, and indeed, come Monday's full settlement of this week's auctions, the jig is up. Prior to this week's $72 billion in auctions, total debt subject to the $14.294 Tr ceiling has risen to $14.280 trillion. There is no way the Treasury can cut $42 billion in debt next Monday (pro forma for the $16 billion Bill paydown settlement). Next up: panic.

So what happens when they go over the limit? Who exactly, goes to jail?

Nobody? Then who the fuck cares about a limit?

There are two ways for you to make a contribution to reduce the debt:

  • You can make a contribution online either by credit card, checking or savings account atPay.gov
  • You can write a check payable to the Bureau of the Public Debt, and in the memo section, notate that it's a Gift to reduce the Debt Held by the Public. Mail your check to: 

    Attn Dept G
    Bureau of the Public Debt
    P. O. Box 2188
    Parkersburg, WV 26106-2188

Why trifel with mofos! bankster fraudsters in bed with corrupt government? False flag as 911 could shut down the whole financial system tomorrow. Why wait for the obvious coming upon AmeriCON'd.  

Get out of every paper asset; stocks especially:  US Mint gold/silver bullion coins receiving favored status with no capital gains..  We'll see many more months where gold eagles are off the charts from the US Mint if the mint can keep them in stock.  Can't keep silver eagles in stock.  I see states front running their own legislation to exit the FRN.  

http://www.constitutionaltender.com/   Follow this web site occasionally to see what states are ratifying gold/silver legal tender laws and what states are being added to the list of 15 currently.  These states don't want any more shrink-er USDinker dollars in their treasuries.    You may know the measured exit out of paper fiat dollars is accelerating by ratifications and more states wanting in on gold/silver preserving a states wealth over debasing paper dollars.  The game being played to stampede people away from physical gold/silver continues. Those who lose will be holding the most stocks in USDinker dollars when the financial iron curtain falls upon AmeriCON'd; gold & silver taking King & Queen position of the world financial system over fiat debt based currencies racing to zero. Who didn't know this would implode. It was designed to implode.  Don't be the last to wake up to this revelation. Last one out of FRN's; USDinker dollar realated assets loses.

Perhaps Goldman Sachs will lend the U.S. Treasury a bailout and return the favor. I'm sure there will be a premium attached to it of course.

I wonder if with sufficient preparation/seasoning, whether Treasuries are edible?

Why not just retire some debt by swapping out POMO debt with the Fed, in exchange for confiscated SNAP funds, giving the Treasury paper to the 99ers to eat?

On a short enough timeline, the survival rate for all FED projections drops to zero right at our feet 3 months early.

I think Timmay was quoting July as thats when the ink runs out of the Bernank's HP inkjet printer, so you're right, clearly there is a disconnect

I guess this all depends on what the definition of "debt" "is".

UST can start selling gold from depository at Ft Knox. That would indeed cover the debt and fulfill the wet dream to push down the gold price. For a bit :-)

i used to think gold, silver, oil and so on will rise slwoly with inflation (dollor devaulation) but now the panic moves by the Central Bank Bernank, COMEX, CME, etc make me think I will go to sleep one night and will wake up to a 50% haircut of the dollar and gold will be $3,000...oil $220 (as Nomura predicts) and silver $485 (as John Williams from Shadow Stats opines).

We have 30's tomorrow. Right? When I looked @ 10's just before N.Y. opened they were down 4BPS. But then again I look @ DXY and see a topping pattern.

A range trade at best! usd/jpy can't even crack the the fibi in the 81.4-6 area. Higher lows look promising.I'll buy the dips.

If they refuse to raise the debt ceiling for a long period , the dollar index will get off like a rocket.

So, you really think the U.S. gov't is near bankruptcy?  Think again!  Today, composite U.S. gov't i.e. all 87,504 government units (50 state and 87,453 local) has liquid assets of approx. $100 trillion according to the comprehensive annual financial reports (CAFR).
