        Look look look, we just gotta keep taking the moral high road and meeting them in the middle. Eventually they’ll help us out. They can’t keep pulling the football like Lucy with Charlie Brown EVERY SINGLE TIME.

        It will, in the sense that the US Treasury is now shifting massive amounts of its debt burdern from longer term bond issuance(5y, 10y, 30y), to shorter term (3m) debt, and then just trying to keep refinancing it, every 3 months.

        The Federal Reserve has now lost the ability to actually set bond market intetest rates.

        They can raise or lower the interest rate, the bond market is currently laughing at that and setting their own interest rates.

        So, what that means is, the next government shutdown will result in even more economic destruction and chaos, even more things we have long taken for granted just disintegrating.
