November 11

2:15 Trump working on a miracle, trying again to piss the Russians, because the refinery in Romania (which has 5000 employees) following most recent sanctions needs to be taken over by Romanian State.

So here we are, after retiring half of the Americans soldiers in Romania now Trump has given Romania the task to enforce his sanctions.

BTW. It would not be the first time in history when a country deals with both belligerents.

2:30 PM In the meantime Trump has changed his mind about retiring troops from Romania. Nevermind that, the title of the news in the video is misleading. But watch the reaction on Orban's face and generally his body language, like dominating the whole meeting.

To put it plainly. Hungary has a major interest in Romania and hopes that Russia will do the job for them. Trianon Treaty has split multi-national (Austro) - Hungary in its Hungarian majority and non Hungarian majority territories and now they want them back with the price of wars.

Some of them territories are in Ukraine etc., the reason for the war in Ukraine and previously in Yugoslavia, the reason Orban supports Putin though Hungary is a member of NATO and Trump, an undead Hungarian piano player with at least two identities in US works on both sides.

3:05 Could it be most of the 40 trillion American sovereign debt fake? In the next few hours/days i'll try to compare all the debt ceiling increase vs deficit. Actually, it is not that difficult, all i have to do is add the deficits since Reagan when there was no major debt and today and compare to 40 trillions. How many years is that?

Ok i hope these numbers taken from here are real, it looks like there is a (big) difference between deficit and debt increase per each year and per total. Looking to figure that one out. Ok so the interest is included in the second column.

Deficit to GDP ratio (last column) is the traditional but not a good way to express deficit (to the public) because GDP is enormous (though is surpassed by debt), it makes it look small, it should be expressed as deficit to budget ratio as it seems natural because it's a budget deficit (difference between budget spending and revenue).

I was looking for the numbers in 2024 and 2025 not present in the source to finish the sheet above but i ran into some very interesting things. Great Recession of 2009. Refinancing of 2025.

So we're looking to a historical double debt increase this year, or 6 times higher than that of 2009, the reason the 5 trillion increase in July did not suffice. So we will have something like 10 in that column for 2025 or one quart of the total US debt. Would that make an unheard of approximate 25-30% fiscal (real) deficit (fiscal deficit to GDP ratio).

But this one we can't blame on Trump. It's "maturing" of short term high interest debts contracted during pandemic. In other words, pandemic profiteering.

However should not be that high. Keep searching.

Did government shutdown helped any? Maybe, with raising public awareness.
