This is a great discussion. Something was missing that usually distorts the discussion. Can't put my finger on it.

This is like a person is bleeding out but instead of stopping the bleeding you just do a good job cleaning up the blood. Higher rates are the symptom. The disease is too much government spending.

Managing the Treasury like a macro hedge fund desk might lower yields short-term, but swapping long-term stability for short-term bills just transfers rate risk directly onto taxpayers.

Good job Kelly! I was happy to hear you push back on the Treasury's short term non sense move.

The problem is that Bessent can’t handle all the problems his boss is making all the time, is hard to ask for predictability with a drunk at the wheel 🤷🏻♂️

So true. Switching a 30 year fixed to an ARM in a high inflation set up can be costly.
