(5/10/23) It's Inflation Day: This morning's CPI Report recorded a .4% inflation increase in April (this show was broadcast prior to the numbers' release). The pressure is on to raise the debt ceiling to avoid "dire" results; the 2011 debt debacle resulted in a momentary market dip, follow by an upward surge; meanwhile NFIB Confidence is at a low ebb; The Debt Ceiling Dance: Dire or no? Why Bill Gross isn't worried. Why the gloom from Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger? Americans living beyond their means; Debt is robbing from our future  to have it now. The ugly truth behind "buy now, pay later" plans. NFIB survey at lowest point since 2009; fallacies in the Jobs Report: Birth/Death Adjustment is a joke. Why Stanley Druckenmiller thinks we'll eventually be in Recession; where will investment opportunities lie? The negative effects of Work From Home: Commercial Real Estate takes a hit on reduced occupancy.
