This is such a good interview with @pkrugman.bsky.social

It's sad to know that the USA has the greatest living international trade economist and no one stopped to ask him about this because of political brain rot.

It's so bonkers to see the richest economy in human history saying that they're the victim of a system they built, the system that made them the richest.

Not that anyone here is confused about the most uncontroversial thing in macroeconomics, but I made a YouTube vid about tariffs if you're interested.

Tariffs are Bad.

I wonder if we'll get the traditional First 100 Days accomplishments from the Prez. 🤡🤡🤡

So. We're doing 17th century economics and 1st century territorial expansion.

The global reserve currency issuer doesn't need strategic reserves. Full stop.

And buying ADA, XRP and SOL is a complete misuse of taxpayer funds.

Everyone talks about these sentiment surveys as if there isn’t a third group of people that we literally call “independents” who might have the more objective view of things….

The US stock market is now 63% of global market cap, up from 60.5% at the beginning of the year. The next biggest market is...Japan at 5.6%.

I'm not a huge fan of annual forecasts, but this one is worth a listen.
New Odd Lots!

@weisenthal.bsky.social & I speak to Goldman's Jan Hatzius and David Kostin about their outlooks for the economy and markets in 2025 & beyond.

Pretty sure this is the first time both of them have been on a podcast like this together & it's a treat

Nice comments by Paul.

Trump is spreading a common fallacy where people assume $ reserve status is bestowed on the USA.

In reality reserve status is earned. The USA is:

- the largest economy ever
- wealthiest econ ever
- Most innovative econ ever

As a result, there’s voracious demand for $.
It goes without saying that this is stupid, and I wonder what set it off. Was there a segment on Fox News? But I thought it might be worth a thread explaining what Trump (and, to be fair, some other international leaders) don't get about international money 1/

Liking this platform so far. Couple features that would crush Twitter::

1) Edit button
2) Scheduled posts
3) Improved gif selection

Check my math:

1) Trump does 25% tariff
2) Taco prices go up 25%
3) Taco Bell makes 25% more money
4) Taco Bell hires 25% more workers
5) Taco Bell can make 25% more tacos
6) We all get 25% more tacos

New Tsy Sec Bessent promotes a 3-3-3 policy. That’s 3% deficit to GDP, 3% REAL GDP growth and 3 million barrels of daily oil output.

Current deficit is 6.5% of GDP which implies almost $1 trillion of budget cuts.

I suspect this would get us to NOMINAL 3% GDP growth (about 0% real).
