We continue our discussion and analysis of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet and the national debt of the USA. We provide an historical perspective with respect to these two variables so that the audience can gain a better picture of the current state of monetary and fiscal policy. It also serves the purpose to highlight the rapid decline of the United States and how this is the management of the bankruptcy of the United States of America. With each passing administration, there is exponential growth with our levels of debt, but unfortunately, not with our levels of growth. And this makes intuitive sense because debt is not growth. In fact, debt, especially at these levels, retards and stunts growth. Debt is the theft of future prosperity. This is clearly evident, yet the political will to stop this type of debt expansion is non-existent. It is non-existent because the truth is too hard to stomach for these politicians and the coward’s way out is to add to the debt and to inflate our currency. Truth, prudence, and principle are not words that are used or understood in Washington, DC. And as such, it is the people and the country at large that has to pay for and suffer the consequences of such poor and absent leadership. Because of this, we are not a free nation, but rather a nation of debt.

According to the BLS, 245,000 jobs were created in the month of November. This was well below market expectations and where jobs gains had been over the last several months. Perhaps portending of a loss of momentum within the jobs market. Such a situation, would however, be consistent with other data that we have been witnessing with respect to initial jobless claims remaining stubbornly high at over 700,000 per week. Such a small monthly gain is also consistent with recent small business surveys that indicate that nearly half of these businesses remain at risk of closing for good. Those industries hardest hit are continuing to feel the brunt of the economic contraction and the narrative is showing consistency across various reports and surveys. Thus, indicating to The Kapital News, that there is still a long way to go with respect to the recovery of employment. It should also be noted that elements within the Nobody CARES Act are expiring at the end of the month. Therefore, those who may be losing their jobs for the first time, will likely qualify for state benefits. However, those that typically do not qualify for state benefits, such as small business owners, contractors, gig workers etc, have been relying on the PUA and/or PEUC programs created in the Nobody CARES Act, will run into a problem as these programs are set to expire. These two programs were also available as an extension if and once, state benefits expired. Lastly, the headline U-3 unemployment rate was 6.7 percent for the month of November. However, per the BLS, if calculated “more accurately,” the rate would have been 7.1 percent.
