There Goes The Sequester
Today is the day when, if one listens to Obama whose idea it was in the first place, an unprecedented $85 billion spending cuts will be sequestered, unleashing famine, pestilence, the apocalypse and grizzly bears (as all park rangers will be dead from starvation). Which is why we applaud the administration's desire to preempt this tragic for the nation outcome, by issuing, in one day alone: February 28, $80 billion in Treasurys sending debt to (obviously) what is a new all time high $16,687,289,180,215.37.
In other words, the entire apocalyptic impact of the sequester for 2013 was offset by one day's debt issuance.
Oh, and we didn't label this post Friday humor because it rightfully falls under the Friday grotesque, surreal tragedy category.

The US Debt can not be killed by ordinary means, it must thrown into the fires of Mt. Doom...
Kick that can, bitchez.
Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)
Speech Given on U.S. Senate Floor Objecting To Raising Debt Ceiling Limit
March 16, 2006
Official National Debt at that time: 8 trillion USD (Official National Debt Now? Check the clock above; it's inceasing way too quickly to make any number I post relevant for more than a few minutes from now.)

Here is an interesting response from a liberal defending Obama after I presented her/him/it with the facts of this posting -
“Wow. That sounds bad. Well, unless you actually know something about how borrowing works in government. For instance, if you know that the Treasury only borrows what it needs to borrow BY LAW to meet it's spending obligations, it takes on a different perspective. If yu also know that all spending bills have to BY LAW originate in the House of Representatives, it looks even different.
In other words, if you look at the whole horse you see that the Treasury is only meeting the legal obligations set for it by Congress. Neither the Treasury, nor the President, can spend a penny not budgeted.
But, if you stick your head up the backside of the horse, all you see is what comes out the end and you misrepresent the bigger picture.”
Liberals would somehow manage to defend Obama if he raped their grandma and then shot her in the head on live television.
I've given up trying to reach liberals. Republicans/conservatives are a whole other kind of retarded, but they are at least ten times more likely IMO to look at reality and adjust their belief system accordingly. Liberals will stubbornly cling to their ideology even as its idiocy slaps them repeatedly in the face.
Mc
you lost me at republican
there is no "other" in your world, they are but two of the same so I would strongly disagree with your assertion that somehow given the chance McRomney would be doing something
in the "palpably different" category. you've got to be fucking kidding. And hence forth you will forever be unable to adjust your gaze beyond blaming the paid stooge and
look to who are your real masters. That is the real american condition.
hint: first letter is "O" and the last letter is NOT "a", he too is a paid stooge
I'm not talking about the politicians; I'm talking about the people who vote for them. Would Romney do anything "palpably different" from Obama? Of course not, and I never suggested as much. The politicians quite obviously play for the same team and answer to the same owners. The people who "elect" them, however, buy into the artificial differences for whatever reason, and it's been my experience that those who identify as Republican are more likely to change their mind when presented with evidence which contradicts their worldview.
Feel free to disagree; I'm only reporting what I've observed. The endless barage of propaganda we face on a daily basis cannot be completely responsible for the yawning chasm of animosity that exists between Republican and Democrat voters. They truly do hate each other and think differently, even if their masters do not.
As for myself, I happily refuse to pick a side or vote, as that only serves to legitimize an illegitimate system.
I think most of us are sensitive to the primary ideology we grew up around - the assholes who did their best to shut us down and injure us as we began to think for ourselves.
That 80 billion was already 'priced in'.
New debt at near zero interest rate.
Certainly you Americans can afford that.
You Americans.What are you?

MillionDollarBogus, That is a pretty moronic comment. The average term of the national debt is something like 5 to 6 years. It's like our national debt is an Alt-A mortgage. What happens when it has to roll over and interest rates start normalizing again?! Or did you flunk logic and math?
mdb is the man!! yep, it was priced in. and tomorrow, more earnings beats, and clearly, more housing upbeat news, less unemployment,
the US economy is booming. what's with all this doom and gloom? why shouldn't stocks double from here. they are cheap
right now. PM really are relics, what are you going to do, sew them into your nike joggers? nobody wears wool coats any more.
car sales booming like never before. new home starts. new jobs. you just have to ask yourself, this obama and his team,

so you want change or why would you read ZH? violence is a way but most here for very good reasons eliminate that option. moving to another land, where? they all are in the system.
here is one thing many can do: change your voter registration NOW. D or R go down to your local election office and change your registration to any other 3rd party of your choice or the global Independent.
The mass of people doing so would be the biggest hit we could do that avoids violence...please do it. That is a message the two headed monster will get.
I just repudiated my entire voter registration (just WHY does a voter have to be "registered", yet don't have to ID themselves?)
Neither the Treasury, nor the President, can spend a penny not budgeted.
Should say "can CONSTITUTIONALLY SPEND...". Otherwise the statement is not accurate. (See: elizabeth warren's position setting up the new consumer protection from evil Republican Credit Card Troll companies agency, which was directly funded by the FED to the tune of somewhere around 70 million or so, WITHOUT being approved by the House, and WITHOUT her being appointed by the Senate.)
So the trial balloon has been launched and has flown without anyone in Congress shooting it down - so the President can now get all the funding he wants for anything he wants it for - without the approval of Congress.
Uhuh ... from Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Enrolled Bill [Final as Passed Both House and Senate]

If you really want to have some fun, go to the debt clock and in the upper right corner click 'time machine' and go to 2017....guess at the debt before you do.
I'm guessing "eleventy kabillion," because we'll probably be inventing new numbers by then. Am I close?
Missed it by ' ' much.....but very very close.
If one were to get all crazy & wild and dare to assume an even remotely similar trajectory (I'm speaking in VERY APPROXIMATE terms here) to what we had in accretion to the *official* national debt from the time Obama gave his "raising the debt ceiling and adding to the current 8 trillion USD debt would be ruinous to us, our children & grandchildren" speech in 2006 to present (a 7 year period)...
...the trajectory puts the U.S. on course for a 25+ trillion USD debt by 2020 [it's a simple extrapolation of approximately 12% to 14% growth in the debt per year, but surely Krugman will come up with a model to tell us all how that didn't actually take place, and furthermore, how it can't take place].
Of course, to assume such a trajectory would be INSANE, because we all know that politicians and central bankers are very competent, well intentioned people, who have demonstrated a solid history of doing what's best for the nation over the short, intermediate and long term.
Not only that, but the 1% to 2% robust economic growth that we'll experience (and hopefully it won't be less than this robust level, let alone significantly less, and interest rates to service the debt won't rise more than a couple of basis points) will more than offset the 1 trillion to 1.5 trillion (or more?) annual deficits that we're going to incur for ? number of years...
Plus, we all know that it's not as if a record number of "Boomers" are retiring in a massive wave, to draw their entitlements and other government benefits soon...
Kabillion, is that more than a Bazillion? Or less?
I forget.

These so called "debt numbers" mean nothing to me. It's all a distraction that allows these scumbags to carry out their control agendas and slap each other on the ass.
QE's, cliffs, sequesters, fucking purple Kool-Aid, anything to scare the shit out of the sheep bahahaha so they won't realize that the only thing our government and FED is doing is throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks and how much we will take.
The icing on the cake is profiting from what's left of the bottom half's wealth while attempting to chip away at ones inalienable rights as Skynet goes online.
It's not even a funny joke anymore. Universe, please end this madness.
Cute quips aside, the REAL way to kill it, is to blow it up. Literally. Until it goes 'Kaboom"! Then and only then have you reached the hard-reset. Get it... 'hard' reset? As in 'hard' currency.

I’m sure,’ Ra’anan Gissin, a senior adviser to [Israeli Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon, said n an interview Friday." Stephanie Innes, Arizona Daily Star, March 18, 2003.
It's always "one more year" until the war starts tomorrow. That's why I packed my bags and shipped myself and family out of the USA. I've had 4 good years outside of USA to prepare.
Your going to miss all the fun........

Here on ZH is this great collection of minds and hearts. We see the finest of intelligent commentary, the greatest of thinkers and market-wise intelligencia. The great part of this picture is everybody knows WHO and what most of the mechanisms of empire have manifested that are faulting, and destabilizing the entire enchilada. Wowie, even a star struck kid has to marvel at it all, in it’s slow motion fall.
"Obama and his zionist controlers will start a world war..." Fixed it."
So what to do?
Many people are angry. No more than Mr. John Stadtmiller in this repeat show from January, who, using his abilities on the daily radio that he barely keeps on the air, is doing his best to reveal the truth to people. If he had major money support behind him, only one deep pocketed person to help him, these messages could get out to the nation, and it could be possible to steer the ship away from the iceberg it is fast headed towards. At this point in time, it is not too late to stop the insanity that is looming outside the nations perimeter, like comet ISON is coming from the underside side of the Sun.

http://216.240.133.177/archives32/Stadtmiller/2013/03/Stadtmiller_2_0301...
Sure, that major emotion of anger that comes up first from the deep place of fear is resoundingly getting louder and louder. Recognize that. How to turn the fear into the true Light of Truth and real Justice is that right every soul on deck has. With all the ZH’ers gathered here, it could well be the greatest think tank in the world. Much honor and respect to you all. Thank you for many great and powerful additions to the whole moving picture. If there is a future, this site and it’s archives will offer the intellectual of the future many hours of historic spine tingling revelations that are being created as fast as they can be written.
Imagine if you will, all the great thinkers here gathering into this circling of the wagons to brainstorm about what actual solutions could be implemented RIGHT NOW to possibly stave off the coming babalonic hell planed to conquer the last free country, or sorta free…er…never mind. What can actually be done to stop the insane course of certain destruction the world is facing? Can it be done? And what if maybe some of those supposed leaders that are not on the pay roll…er…well…never mind. Maybe one or more of those souls that COULD make a difference actually used some of the ideas and suggestions brought forth, and really did something to stop the destruction of all biological life forms on the planet. Oh, the humanity?
To expound on that; what if say some large object in the coming future COULD MAYBE threaten life, all life on the planet as we know it. Would it be better to face it with all hands on deck, or no? WHAT IF, certain elements within walls of secrecy had this knowledge and did everything they could to destroy and destabilize the planets people for their sakes of profits, but maybe also so when these potential celestial events begin, the world’s people will not lets say, freak out, or go zombie on those who are presumed to be responsible for the impending catastrophe. Maybe the plan is that the world’s people just be non-existent before these greater universal things happen in this matrix?
Could it all be different? You betcha. Knowledge is power. In the ancient days of earlier times of this epoch, those who attended Watchman’s Temple of Awareness University learned in Prophets Class 101, that it was their job to tell the people what could happen simply by observing the signs. It was up to the people to actually change the forecast, or not. This was a time when telling the truth was far more virtuous, than lying and deceiving the mass mind to gain from the secrets that are meant for all.
So let this challenge go out world-wide. Can all the wagons here gather to brainstorm answers that maybe the matrix might cease upon to really cause some real changes for the better of all? Is it possible to see the glass is half full, and not half empty? There is great knowledge here. May this Heart invite you all to share it for posterity purposes. Maybe a pre-emptive Solutions Thread is in order Sir Tyler?
Bless.

Nice sentiment but that's is all it is, greed, evil and hubris control all the apparatus of mass thought in the West, it has never been relinquished in the East or Middle East so they are controlled as they always have been. The numbers of people of which you speak are too small and the event horizon too large. Realization by the many will invariably be too late and too ineffective. Once the shoe drops, it's going FULL FUCKING GONG SHOW. Katrina and its after math of mayhem was like a kids tickle trunk of playthings compared to where this rabbit hole leads. This is not pessimism this is plane old insight into the american condition. The christian hypocricy of the typical american is too engrained too self centered too paranoid too pampered for any other outcome. Notice the word used was typical not ALL but that still puts the majority at multiples of multiples of tens of millions, that's a lot of people.
Scale, especially exponential scale is hard to fathom and that's why your hopes and wishes will come to naught. If this was 1938 and you lived in Poland knowing what you know now what would you do about it? Knowing too the SCALE of what's to come is exponentially larger than Poland 1938 and infinitely more complex, what would you do about it? I suspect nothing because in your mind there are far too many reasons not to do anything but wait and try to react as best you can, YET you know what is about to be unleashed and really do nothing. This is why its sentiment because sentiment is inertia. The bigger the inertia the bigger the bang. This one is going biblical
The Light is bright and your points are well taken...yessir.
Funny you ask that question about being in Poland 1938. The same question gets asked here too, only using Germany instead of Poland.
What would you do knowing all this?
Thanks for speaking your truth.
This is all just a distraction and none of it matters. We have all have less than 10 years to live, I hope you have enjoyed your time here on earth.

What ever happened to the debt ceiling...oh never mind who gives a shit anymore...fuck off policitians
Huge issue - and one which I think only ZH gave proper coverage to.
The debt ceiling was not raised, it was temporarily suspended - anyone want to place odds on when it will be reinstated? As I recall, we were only taken off the gold standard temporarily...
CA - big bingo to you...we will not likely ever have a debt ceiling debate, a debt ceiling again, period...wonder what the implications of that could be...hmmmmm.
Point of order - when Treasury sells T's to PD's...do PD's buy these w/ leverage? Do they take a loan from another PD? Do PD's pay "cash" for T and then get paid back by Fed in cash for T? Given PD paid $ for T and is simply repaid $ for T...from the PD perspective, they have same amount of money as before purchasing??? It's only the total money supply (not the PD cash) that's gone up? Of course PD's make money on the transaction. Just curious the exact mechanics of this whole clusterstuff. Does the Fed pay "cash" from digital nowhere? Money is created from nowhere but just curious of the exact methodology.
Six drunk guys grab each others dicks and....
They'll never tell, either.
only six members amongst the, ehem, 12 member banks?
Yes.
Keep it short, ok?
FED sells the Ts, to itself since no one shows up to its auctions.
Money populates Treasury Dept. ledgers in electronic form, never to see the light.
Or your wallet..
Drink up.
The PDs borrow from the discount window at rates you and I will never see and buy Ts because they know that some naive mofo doing the twist will buy them back, all the while collecting interest on reserves put in their banks by people like you, paid out in fresh Benny Bucks (at least the ones that aren't dedicated to insuring that the prop flows of said PDs never see a bad trading day).
Is it really helpful to quantify exactly how many ways you're being fucked once you're already airtight?
Really? It would be better to borrow from discount window to buy Ts, repo to the Fed, pay off the loan, and rake in the interest on the repo'd bonds. !.8 % - .25% just for passing a piece of paper.
Pay off the loan. That's rich!

I never thought I'd feel like I was living thru a defining time in history but the the current willingness of politicians & central bankers to do what works in the short term versus what needs to be done for the long term, staggers me. It feels like I'm watching the very slowest of slow motion car crashes, where noone yet feels the impact, but its definately coming. Amazing.

I'm sorry that 170 million Ameikans will be out of work come Monday. If only that included the politicians, lobbyists, bankers, insurance agents, realtors and brokers. For some reason they get to keep their jobs. It is a paradox similar to the one Beryankme describes about how low interest rates bring higher interest rates. I suppose alcoholics must hit rock bottom before they can stand is the moral of this story.
