It's the private debt that poses the problem. Educate yourself.
Government debt is no longer a short-near term economic problem now that we have the endless money printing of MMT (magic money tree). But, even those inflationary chickens will eventually come home to roost. And the bad news - their inflationary results are yet to be baked into current inflation reality.
Note that the REAL federal funds interest rate is based on the modified way of calculating "core PCE" price inflation. In reality this real interest rate is much lower than the NEGATIVE 4.1% recently charted by the Richmond FED reserve bank.
Heck, ive paid $6 for fuel in CA. But thats not what everyone else pays. Just dummies who are on the wrong side of the mountain and forgot to check their fuel gauge.

What is the current level of private debt and how does that relate to historical levels? What is the servicing rate of that debt compared to historical levels? What is the type of debt, consumer, corporate, municipal, revolving, installment, asset backed, and how do those levels compare to historical? Also, how does this debt compare on a relative basis to asset prices? What is the median term and interest rate of these various debts?

Too many questions? Too hard? Dont care? Dont know? Doesnt fit narrative? Dont like being called out?
Talk about inflation.... hope one of you financial savvy folks can explain to me what is going on....
I've ignored US savings bonds for many years, due to very paltry percentage returns. But I've just been made aware that Series I savings bonds interest rate changed two months ago, from around 3.54% (not sure what the per cent was), to 7.12%.....
Not sure if there has ever been an increase like that. I'm surprised at the rate and would like some other opinions regarding the jump.
Granted... the interest rate changes every 6 months. The 7.12% interest rate will apply for 6 months for bonds purchased by March 31 2022; after 6 months a new interest rate is determined and then applies for the next 6 months, and so on.
Looks like it could be an investment opportunity for those who might have lots of cash in low interest rate vehicles right now. One can purchase up to $10,000 of I bonds per year online; they normally have to be held for 5 years, but can be cashed back in after one year with a penalty (I think it is 1 quarters worth of interest). So... purchase a bond at the 7.12% interest; after 6 months, even if the new interest rate drops to zero percent, hold until the end of the full year and then can cash out if desired to get a yearly rate of 3.56% (the quarter interest penalty of a 0% interest rate would be zero dollars?) And of course if the new interest rate is more than zero... then your yearly return would be better than 3.56%.
Am I missing something? Time to reconsider government bonds? A good opportunity? what is the risk as you see it?

You have done a good job describing the pros. The con is that you have to purchase I Bonds from Treasury Direct and you are limited to $10,000 per year (as you have pointed out) and that the guarantee is for only 6 months (again as you have pointed out).
Good for the small investor that doesn't mind going to a website that is not the most secure and give them your social security number...
I have had numerous clients ask me about IBonds over the years and I've never recommended them because I thought the lack of security outweighs the interest rate benefit...

You have to hold for a minimum of 1 year. If you cash out between 1-5 years you lose the previous quarters (3 months) interest, not a quarter percent. 7.12% interest on a savings bond seems like a no brainer but as you point out the inflation rate is adjusted semi-annually so there is no guarantee it will stay at those levels for any significant amount of time. The problem imo is the fixed rate of the bond which is currently set at 0.0%. Back in 2015 the inflation rate was also 0% (Technically it was a negative .8%) so you would have been sitting on dead $$$. Most of the past 20 years or so it would have been better than $$$ sitting in a savings account.
It's at least a good safe short-term bet for parking $10K as you pointed out. I thought about buying in but just can't get over the 0% fixed rate.
The new side investment / savings account. Buy now and store food, drinks, household essentials ect. It will only get more expensive.
Supply chain issues, hyper inflation and a goverment that acts like they care more for non citizens than citizens.
Lies are now the "new truth". Non peaceful peaceful demostrations.
In this world I'm not willing to shop with panic shoppers who did not prep for this. I'll just watch it all happen on TV from the safety of my home.
Current consumer price inflation is not the result of future money creation - it is the result of past money creation that reached the consumers' hands. It is money that is here to stay and the higher prices it created are the new norm.
Question that remains is will the FED completely stop the flow of new money and therefore halt further inflation increases or will it simply slow the flow of new money and only slow future inflation?
That debt clock certainly continues to inflate. It jumped over $29T sometime in December and nobody even seemed to notice. We'll be at $30T in no time. lol
Another $100B+ just in the past 4 days? LOL I think the clock must be broke. Happy New Year!!!
