*************************

 

We thank Michael Masters for this compilation of the spending items in the "Covid-19 Stimulus Bill" ostensively written to support those damaged by the Covid-19 pandemic.  The Wall Street Journal analysis of this bill found that 91% of it has nothing to do with the pandemic, but is classic "political pork."  

 

In this case it is all for Democrat led states and cities, but were we hoped Republicans would prevail when the vote came up in the Senate. They did not.

 

This may be the trigger for the collapse of the Dollar in international currency markets meaning we will have to buy Chinese Yuan, most likely, at an 8%, or more, loss in value which will be fatal for American international trade and price of participation under Chinese superiority clearly aimed at us and less to the European Union.  We will have lost our first war without bullets, but virus and gold.  You will not read this interpretation elsewhere for a long time.
