Make Dollar Cheap Again
If you think USD is bad now, what will you switch to? Just look at Russia trying and failing to find currency that would replace it. USD is still the only one that's stable enough over nearly a century, with enough volume, and everyone willing to accept it. It will take a lot more than Trump to change this.
Sadly they’ve been taking advantage of America forever! We pay more for everything!
8:25 “The Biden administration is supporting …” ?
The real reason is that the American government is untrustworthy and is just a bad bet. With other countries dumping your bonds it leaves other countries no option. Who wants to be left holding a handful of worthless bonds. Gold is the future.
EU will also pivot to China
Drop the dollar
Is Trump getting the message?
It's going to be hilarious being 38 trillion in debt when usd loses world reserve currency status.
Literally NOBODY trust the US anymore and I don't blame them. Anyway who wants to deal with an unstable orange orangutan?!
It’s the same problem in UK, you have the worst President in history and we have the worst Prime Minister in history. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The RISE of Japan and high value, of the YEN. Japan having a closer relationship with China. The Philippines used for Manufacturing. Japan and Saudi Arabia having high valuation of currency. The Rise of Turkia and higher valuation of their currency.
Can the US Government be trusted?
May I entice someone with high quality magic beans? A safe investment in these stormy days.
You never know what crypto will get up to tomorrow. Who knows what crazy president the US will get after Trump? The euro is old news. The British pound? No thank you, no cost of living crisis for us!
But magic beans? They are magic.
China and Japan are selling it. The allies(that the US are ditching) might start selling US debt too.
Paradox
The three branches of government:
Executive
Legislative
Judicial
Financial?!
But while those effectively demonstrate a governmental infrastructure, it works until people are hungry, need a desk, and a change of clothes. Before long, we realize that the system requires money. Since the government isn't a business, it may choose to invite taxes as a means of covering costs.
But what happens when systems expand? What happens when systems themselves require financial consciousness? The fourth branch of government becomes the financial branch. However, since power is rarely freely given, the financial branch of government takes its position around interest rates, tariffs, treasury bonds, various taxes, technology clearing house opens access to new technologies, building the military, various projects and programs, to name just a few. Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the banks that leverage through interest are a couple of other sources.
Businesses contribute through the IPO
Thank you for posting
The art of the deal, flushing the US dollar down the toilet?
Very soon, U.S. citizens will heat their homes with dollar bills! 😆 ….. and with these plastic cars from Tesla.
Half of the clip gone and no mention of the insane orange creatures total unpredictability..
America is longer the only bully on the block 😮 ! Factor in the stupid spending with unnecessary handouts to countries that are not are allies. Additional madness the printing of massive cash not going to end well 😔
We are watching the decline of the American Empire in real Time. Yes if the Democrats would have won, it would have been a little slower. But now that Donald Trump has won, it has accelerated substantially. The state will always be a powerhouse, but they will never be what they were in years gone by. The only question is who is next.? It’s leaving a vacuum and it’s going to be a battle to see, who is the next world leader chaos will be the norm for the next generation.
The US leadership is clueless. It's focusing on tariffs, job cuts, domestic manufacturing, and stealing from others to save a few hundred billion dollars and making enemies of even its closest allies in the process. The real need of the hour is to tackle the $36 trillion US debt to restore the world's confidence in the dollar. For this, it needs the help of even its worst enemies so that everyone doesn't queue up at the same time to sell off all their bond holdings. This needs rapid action to unfreeze all sanctioned assets, guarantees and reassurances that the dollar will never again be weaponized, freedom of other countries to use currencies of their choice for bilateral trade arrangements, sale of some of its assets to quickly bring down the debt level, help of its wealthy citizens and corporations to accelerate the process of debt reduction, negotiations with bond holders to explore the possibility of haircuts and forgiveness, massive reduction in all expenditure (including defense expenditure). If the US does not take these actions on its own right away, the day is not far when it will be forced to take these very actions by its debtors. They will come and say to the US, "You don't have the cards. You have to be more thankful."
It is very clear that the current leadership cannot do any of this because of its lack of vision and focus. Therefore, if the US has to survive as a nation, there has to be an immediate change in leadership. It's a great nation worth saving but unless concrete actions are taken forthwith, it may be too late to save it later.
We’re Canadian cheep and cheerful. We have low dollar and all the products. Buy Canadian. 😂
It’s a win win for the globe. We are the second largest country friendly with all the resource. Ciao America.
It’s a win win for the globe. We are the second largest country friendly with all the resource. Ciao America. I ask all countries to boycott America. Let’s stand against the US trying to control us all. Let’s make Canada a partner in trade for the world. We are here for the globe and standing strong against a bully.
Can anyone explain why the video repeatedly refers to the Biden administration as if it was current when the video was posted yesterday?
I don't understand why Japan is going broke, they're getting Australian national recourses for almost next to nothing and then reselling it off
Trump will ruin the U.S. if not stopped.
Long term treasuries are auctioned. In other words, if less people want to buy them, the government has to offer higher yields. If this trend continues I see two major repercussions for the US. One, higher interest rates means financing the US debt will become a lot more expensive. That means more cuts in government spending. Two, US banks will charge higher interest rates to their customers. If they get 6% interest from the government, they will ask 8% (or more) on mortgage and company loans. Both are bad for the economy.
Your title is a joke. Japan and the rest of us should ditch the PPR channel.
Yes the world largest economy?
Because it buys not because it sells
Japan and china hold American debt
Better be nice yanks
