I can't recall fiscal discipline in the big chair since about 1989. The read my lips guy.

There was a pretty decent push for fiscal discipline in DC from 1986-1990 on both sides of the aisle.

This, the peace dividend in the early 90's, and the growing economy really helped turn things around fiscally for the US leading into the internet bubble.

Since the commodities futures modernization act and other financial deregulation in the late 90's, the economy has been swinging from big booms to big busts.

>> 10 year yield was stuck in the 3s for a long time. She should have loaded the boat then she could switch to T-Bills now after long rates have gone up and waited for them to come back down.<<

She couldn't do that even if she know the future. She can only sell bonds to the spending limit.

>> If Biden loses and we get someone in with some fiscal discipline, <<

The data doesn't support this conclusion of presidents spending. Which modern president had common sense?
