Trump Says Inflation Will Pay Off The $40 Trillion Debt “Very Rapidly”
President Trump thinks ‘certain levels’ of inflation could take care of the $40 trillion national debt.
“You know, inflation. Certain levels of inflation will also pay off that debt very rapidly. Very rapidly,” he told TIME in an interview published Thursday, after the outlet pointed out has grown by about $11 trillion over his five years in office. In response, Trump first blamed Joe Biden, then the Fed, then hinted at a plan he wouldn’t share.
“I know I’m the best in the world,” Trump said. “The best – I don’t want to tell you what those means are, but you can pay off the debt through other means. But the one thing that you can do is pay it off through growth, and we’ve never had growth like this.”
“WOW! Imagine the rules on a national level if he becomes President? As if the gov’t of California hasn’t proven themselves to be insane already !!!🙄🙄🙄”
California Passes New Law Requiring Booster Seat For Children Up To Age 16
California is putting teenagers as old as 15 through a state-mandated seat-belt fit test—and those who fail it will have to remain in a child restraint such as a booster seat.
The new rule takes effect January 1, 2027. It applies to children ages 8 through 15, meaning it reaches right up to a teenager’s 16th birthday.
The law stops short of ordering every 15-year-old into a booster. Teenagers who pass all five steps may use an adult belt, while those who miss even one step will need a child restraint.
The story exploded across social media Saturday as Californians compared Sacramento’s latest mandate with the state’s much larger public crises.
Silver’s Biggest Paradox: More Gold Exists Above Ground—and Silver Is Still Ignored
Silver is still cheap—obscenely, almost comically cheap—and the public is being trained to ignore it because that is what people do at turning points: they stare at the rear-view mirror and call it analysis.
Silver’s ridiculous discount
At roughly $65 or below, silver remains:
49% below its nominal all-time high of about $120.
72% below its CPI-adjusted 1980 high of roughly $217.
92% below an M2-money-supply-adjusted equivalent near $774.
“Ghali called this the “most acute copper scarcity on record” and a “de-globalization endgame.” The industrial metal’s story is quickly shifting from an AI data center boom to a liquidity crisis, as free-floating copper inventories decline to unprecedented levels.”
“De-Globalization Endgame”: Deutsche Bank Warns Historic Copper Squeeze Could Ignite 50% Rally
London copper prices are near record highs at the start of the week, reinforcing the supercycle commodity bull-cycle thesis former Goldman Sachs commodities chief Jeff Currie outlined in August: “get long and buckle up.” The convergence of tight physical markets, currency debasement and policy intervention is creating conditions for a sustained repricing of scarce resources.
From refined petroleum products and rare earths to industrial metals and certain agricultural commodities, tightening physical markets underpin our “own the bottlenecks” theme.
Deutsche Bank’s head of metals research, Daniel Ghali, added urgency to that theme on Monday morning, warning that available copper inventories globally have fallen to “unprecedented lows.” As US and Chinese stockpiling squeezes supplies available elsewhere, Ghali sees copper rallying roughly 50% to $22,050 a ton by the second quarter of 2027.
“Please note on the chart below, every time the yield curve inverted since 1970 (with the exception of 2022) the economy moved into recession. The case can be made that 2022 was an outlier, because of the fiscal and monetary largesse used to counter COVID’s shutdown of the real economy. Or of course, the economic #w we received were pure fabrication? In any case, the current debt and debt service #s are horrific, an inverted yield curve at this point will uncover malinvestment everywhere. The rubber is about to meet the road!”

Freddie Mac’s weekly national rate for a 30-year mortgage loan increased to 7.03% on Sept. 24 from 6.95% the previous week and 6.15% at the end of 2025.
Freddie Mac said on Thursday that the national average rate for a 30-year mortgage loan in the U.S. had risen to 7.03%. The 7% threshold is a psychological barrier – with good reason.
If you were to buy a home at the national median price of $429,100 for August (according to the National Association of Realtors) and put down the traditional 20%, or $85,820, you would borrow $343,250. If you financed that with a 30-year loan with an interest rate of 7.03%, your monthly principal and interest payment would be $2,290.57. And that wouldn’t include escrowed property taxes and insurance. And of course in many areas of the U.S., you would be hard-pressed to find a home at the national median price.

‘Some evacuees returning home’ but cordon remains
The BBC understands that some evacuees are returning to their homes.
Our reporter on the ground has been told by a farmer living nearby that local people are being allowed back to their houses.
On Sunday, 85 households close to the military base were advised to evacuate, and a leisure centre was made available for those unable to stay with family or friends.

United in debt: America has become a nation of fake rich people
The U.S. now functions as two distinct, fully realized nations occupying the same geographic coordinates. One exists in concrete and brick, where citizens drive 20-year-old sedans and buy generic eggs. The other exists within a six square-inch, forever-vibrating rectangle, where every third twenty-something is a lifestyle curator living a life built on reckless financial decisions.
A recent report by Empower, a major financial services company based in Colorado, found that 24 percent of Gen Zers experience intense pressure to display material wealth on social media, even as 41 percent of all Americans don’t consider themselves financially well-off. The math is simple, brutal and undeniable. Millions of broke people spend borrowed money to convince other broke people they live like oil barons.
Walk into a cafe in any major city on a Tuesday morning. The line stretches out the front door with men and women waiting to pay $7 for an oat milk latte. The transaction takes three seconds via a plastic card. The coffee is gone in ten minutes. The debt remains on the balance sheet for 30 days at a 28 percent annual percentage rate.
History shows financial calamities occur when rates rise rapidly like this: ‘Something always breaks’
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is rising to levels not seen in years. But it’s not necessarily the outright level that’s most concerning for those on Wall Street, it’s the speed of the move.
When rates climb at such a rapid pace, history tells them something bad tends to happen.
The 10-year yield saw its most rapid one-day increase since April 7, 2025, on Wednesday, rising further on Thursday to top 5.17%, quite a move considering two weeks ago it was below 4.8% and at one point in August, it was below 4.6%.
One Sector. 2.58 Billion Ounces. AI’s Coming Silver Demand Shock
Artificial intelligence is transforming the global data-center industry into a faster, denser, and more materials-intensive system—and silver may be one of the overlooked beneficiaries.
The reason is simple: AI is a race for speed. Training and operating large AI models requires massive numbers of GPUs and other accelerators to move data continuously among processors, memory, storage, and networking equipment. Every millisecond matters. So do electrical losses, heat buildup, equipment reliability, and power-delivery efficiency.

Global debt tops $365 trillion as economists sound alarm over ‘vicious cycle’
Governments are trapped in a “vicious cycle” as large deficits meet rising interest expenses but are not met by political will to tackle the situation, the Institute of International Finance has warned.
The U.S., Japan, France and U.K. are facing the challenges typically met by emerging markets, while interest payments by advanced economies have topped global spending on AI, defense or clean technology.
International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Kristalina Georgieva said it is “impossible to stress strongly enough how critical it is” to bring down debt and prioritize fiscal consolidation.
“But wait, I thought real estate never goes down? Imagine if these values were calculated in gold terms instead of dollars? The debacle would look twice as bad, at least!”
The Commercial Real Estate Crash Is Moving From Paper Losses To Realized Losses
For years after Covid fundamentally changed how Americans use office space, lenders and property owners managed to postpone much of the financial damage. Loans were modified, maturities were pushed out and buildings were given more time to recover. The basic assumption was that eventually interest rates would come down, employees would spend more time downtown and refinancing markets would reopen.
Instead, many owners are reaching the end of the runway with rates still elevated and buildings worth dramatically less than the debt sitting against them.
Chicago’s Aon Center offers an almost absurd illustration. The 83-story skyscraper changed hands for $712 million in 2015 and was subsequently refinanced, with $536 million of debt eventually packaged into commercial mortgage-backed securities. Today, after losing important tenants, the building is worth nowhere near that amount. Its latest appraisal came in at just $195 million — a decline of roughly 73% from its 2015 purchase price.
ANOTHER New UK Government Unit To Police ‘Untrue Narratives’
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham used his first United Nations speech this week to announce a ‘National Centre for Information Defence’ — a new state machine to “detect, attribute and disrupt” what ministers call hostile information attacks, and to stop a “distorted and untrue narrative about Britain.”
Burnham wrapped it in Russia, bots, deepfakes and “community cohesion.” Critics are adamant the move is purely aimed at ensuring the government has full control over the flow of information.
China’s real gold purchases appear to be roughly twice the amount disclosed through official channels, according to Goldman Sachs’ latest estimate.
China’s real gold purchases appear to be roughly twice the amount disclosed through official channels, according to Goldman Sachs’ latest estimate. That gap (first noticed by ZeroHedge) matters because it suggests Beijing is building its gold reserves faster than the public numbers indicate.
Goldman estimates that China purchased 35 tonnes of gold in July, making it the largest known buyer during the month.
