Trump Treasury & Fed Will Run it Hot in 2026

Trump Treasury & Fed Will Run it Hot in 2026Greg Hunter – Financial writer, market analyst and precious metals expert Craig Hemke predicted at the beginning of 2024 that the US would add a whopping $2 trillion in debt. It did. At the beginning of 2025, Hemke predicted the US dollar would take a big hit. It did, and record high gold and silver prices score Hemke another bullseye.

At the beginning of 2026, Hemke is predicting the Trump Treasury and Fed are going to put the pedal to the metal in running the economy. Hemke explains, “Japan had yield curve control for years. They have taken it off, and interest rates have skyrocketed. This is where we are heading in the US.

skidmoreJoseph P Farrell – You know things are in a bad state when an economics professor at one of the country’s most prestigious research universities, the Michigan State University, says that there’s about $21,000,000,000,000 missing, and when he says that in spite of his best efforts to find out where it went, he meets a stone wall of obfuscation, buck-passing, and missing links.

tarpQuin Hillyer – Continuing a multi-year battle to save misspent taxpayer dollars, Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa on Tuesday demanded to know why the U.S. Treasury has recovered so little of the money wasted by federal officials from a housing program gone awry.

The IG found that $11 million had been spent not to help victims but instead “wasted on restaurant meals, employee gifts and a $500 per month company Mercedes.” Despite the report, the Treasury has recovered only $113,592 of the $11 million – just barely over 1 percent of the mal-spent funds. Grassley long has championed the causes of federal whistleblowers and departmental Inspectors General (IGs). In this case, the Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which was created during the housing/financial crisis late last decade, had unearthed large levels of wrongful spending in the Hardest Hit Fund (HHF), a kitty meant to directly help homeowners hurt during the crisis.

“There should be an appropriate measure of accountability,” Grassley wrote to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, “including potential disciplinary action.” Continue reading →
