Our current situation is retarded:
Higher inflation means rate hikes.
Dollar rises.
The reality is inflation is higher due to deficits and uncontrolled government spending.
Dollar negative.
The big print is coming. It’s the only desperate answer.

US opens fiscal 2027 with a record October deficit
The Treasury reported a $404 billion deficit for October, up $120 billion, or 42%, from October 2025. Spending reached $773 billion, while revenue fell 9% to $369 billion. Interest on federal debt alone cost $115 billion.
However, adjusting for payments shifted between months reduces the October deficit to approximately $285 billion. Even adjusted, that’s a very large monthly shortfall.
The dollar is surging… This is not good.
The world is now getting squeezed from two sides…
Inflation and a surging dollar.
This raises the risk that foreign countries sell USTs to fund domestic needs.
Foreign demand for USTs has already plunged 60% YoY…
And it might… pic.twitter.com/rdflgyGSSg

CBO reports a $2 trillion deficit for fiscal 2026
The federal government finished fiscal 2026 with a $2 trillion deficit, up 12% from the previous year. The deficit equaled 6.2% of GDP, compared with a 50-year average of 3.8%.
Federal debt held by the public reached 100% of GDP, the highest level since 1946.

Interest payments reach approximately $1.1 trillion
Net interest on debt held by the public climbed to roughly $1.1 trillion in fiscal 2026. It has nearly tripled since fiscal 2021, when it was about $392 billion.
That money pays creditors rather than funding government services or reducing the debt.
Treasury plans another $618 billion in borrowing this quarter
Treasury expects to borrow $618 billion in privately held net marketable debt during October–December 2026, followed by another $800 billion in January–March 2027.

Treasury’s weekly auction total hits a record $839 billion
This is where some of the $100 billion weekly borrowing claims get confusing. The $839 billion represented gross Treasury securities sold in one week, including refinancing maturing debt. Only $68 billion was new borrowing.
Gross issuance and net new borrowing are very different numbers.
