Brilliant! Nothing causes more turmoil in the market and destroys economies around the world (starting with ours) faster than this unstable criminal we have for our POTUS.

Just days after mortgage rates hit a three-year low, sparking a near-instant surge in applications, fresh trade tensions are threatening to undo that progress.

Rates on a 30-year mortgage jumped 14 basis points to an average of 6.21% on Tuesday morning, according to Mortgage News Daily, following new escalations in the standoff between President Trump and European leaders over the future of Greenland.

After being repeatedly rebuffed in efforts to take control of the Danish territory, Trump threatened to impose punitive 10% tariffs on eight European nations starting Feb. 1, and eventually ratchet the tariffs up to 25%. European leaders are now weighing their response.

A quotation from John Adams

The Spirit of Commerce, Madam, which even insinuates itself into Families, and influences holy Matrimony, and thereby corrupts the Morals of Families as well as destroys their Happiness, it is much to be feared is incompatible with that purity of Heart, and Greatness of soul which is necessary for an happy Republic.

John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Letter (1776-04-16) to Mercy Otis Warren

Trust is very important in bond markets. Do you think the world trusts the current US gov?

When I was in high school about to graduate, Y2K, it's a fact that we were told "go to college or flip burgers" as some kind of threat. You could even apply for a student loan (or join the army) right from school.

Needless to say, I thought it was all insane and went to community college instead for less than a grand a year and have no debt.

I just saw that people have $300k loans !! WTF !! And garnishment resumes in 2026.
