This is called "capital flight" It usually only happens to poor countries, and it never ends well.

Usually, Americans can get by perfectly well without ever thinking about the intricacies of international finance and the bond market. substack.com/app-link/pos... #Economy #USA #usapoli #usaecon #cdnpoli

Bond Market is Upended by Trump’s Tariffs In the usually steady government bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury has risen to about 4.5 percent from less than 4 percent at the end of last week.

Yields on usually steady U.S. government bonds have spiked sharply. It’s a sign that Trump’s trade war has shaken faith in the U.S. economy. nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter... #USA #usapoli #Canada #cdnpoli #usaecon #TBonds #Bonds

Stephanie Ruhle: What scares me most about Trump's tariff whiplash Every investor I’ve spoken with says the U.S. is facing a crisis in confidence — and they have no idea what, if anything, could restore it.

If the bond market continues to drop, that will effectively bankrupt the country. And bankruptcy is something Trump knows a lot about.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariffs Did Not Cause the Great Depression. Austerity Did. Trump is getting economic history disastrously wrong, but so are his critics. Anyone? Anyone?

Wage growth since 1979 has not been stagnant, but it has definitely been suppressed We recently released our annual report assessing wage growth in the U.S. economy. We highlighted that strong and broadly shared wage growth since 2019 contrasted sharply with much slower and unequal r...

To be clear, relative to any reasonable measure of the economy’s potential to deliver broadly shared wage growth or relative to previous historical periods, the post-1979 period has been terrible for typical workers. www.epi.org/blog/wage-gr... #cdnpoli #usapoli #cdnecon #usaecon #cdnlabour #Wages

The Cost of Chaos: This is Getting Scary And it’s all on Donald Trump

We’re clearly looking at tariffs driven by id, not ideology — Trump’s biggest motivation seems to be the desire to see other countries grovel. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug... #USA #usapoli #usaecon

The big question is how in their panic no one noticed that our foreign foe has become Grampa Simpson Plus! The Wall Street Journal is taking Donald Trump apart piece by piece. Why can't we do that instead of yip-yip-yipping?

Michel notes that manufacturing as a share of total employment in the U.S. has been dropping since 1943. Yet manufacturing’s contribution to U.S. GDP reached a record in 2022. open.substack.com/pub/petermen... #Trump #USA #usaEcon

A Clown in a China Shop Our perfectly smooth-brained president is having a perfectly wonderful time.

There’s Trump the bundle of bad policy ideas, Trump the destroyer of institutions, Trump the fountain of post-truth grievance. It’s hard to take the time to dwell on the man himself—to focus our attention on Donald Trump the clown. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... #USA #usaecon #Trump #Coal

The infamous Smoot-Hawley tariffs helped fuel the Great Depression, which significantly contributed to the conditions that led to World War II. Today’s tariffs are much, much higher. This isn’t “Liberation Day”—it’s Desperation Day!
