New York —A bond rout is deepening as inflation fears take hold of the Treasury market, threatening to raise borrowing costs across the US economy.
The 30-year US Treasury yield just hit 5.2%, its highest level since 2007, rising on worries about persistent price hikes because of the Iran war. Unsustainable government finances and interest rate hike fears have also sent investors pouring out of Treasury bonds. Yields rise when bond prices fall…
Causes of Uncontrollable US Public Spending and Debt

THIS IS THE TRUMP ERA, which means if you blink, you will miss another shattering example of unabashed corruption. I don’t usually write about the same topic twice in a row, but the latest revelations of Trump’s wanton, shameless profiteering from the White House cannot go unremarked.

The latest outrage against the public—and since I started typing this sentence there have surely been more—concerns Trump’s stock trades…
