The Tale of Another ChairmanEconomist Richard Timberlake recalls the legacy of W.M. Martin and Marriner Eccles, former Fed chairmen.
Marriner Stoddard Eccles (September 9, 1890 – December 18, 1977) served as the 7th chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1936 to 1948. He was succeeded by Thomas B. McCabe due to disagreements with President Truman regarding his opposition to the President’s low interest rate policy aimed at the cost of Treasury funding. Eccles believed Truman’s policy fueled inflation
From a congressional hearing in 1936: Congressman Patman: “How did you get the money to buy those two billion dollars worth of Government securities in 1933?” Governor Eccles:“Out of the right to issue credit money.” Patman: “And there is nothing behind it, is there, except our Government’s credit?” Eccles: “That is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn’t be any money.“ Congressman Fletcher:“Chairman Eccles, when do you think there is a possibility of returning to a free and open market, instead of this pegged and artificially controlled financial market we now have?“ Governor Eccles: “Never, not in your lifetime or mine.“

This latest Trump statement that Biden appointed Powell is fascinating to me because I really want to know if this is just a reflex or calculated Trump reply or if he psychologically lives in a world where anything bad = Biden and democrats which really block his ability to remember that he appointed Powell. I think it is the former.
I know a lot of people here and the markets don’t think Trump will fire Powell, but he must be internally struggling over this because he wants to do it and is resisting because of how the markets will react. He listened to others in his first term and regretted it. Will he follow his gut and conviction with getting rid of Powell? Not sure but I am working on a backup plan just in case.

“Argentina’s economy grew 7.6% in the second quarter of 2025, official data shows. This is the country’s best performance in years, coming after a long crisis marked by high inflation and shrinking incomes. The main drivers of this growth are a strong rebound in commerce and construction, both of which have responded quickly to new government policies. President Javier Milei’s government took office in late 2023 and made big changes.”
When they speak of money printing today, they are not talking about printing physical currency. It is additions to bank reserves, which do not become “money” until those reserves are converted into loans. They do still print money of course. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, subordinate to the UST, prints what the Fed believes the nation requires, in currency, in a given year, to support commerce and individual transactions.

I wonder who Trump is trying to scare with his 50% tariff on copper decree? Can’t be Chile since the trade balance is net positive for US. Canada? Japan? Would Trump really risk inflation in housing, autos, EV, Solar and Semis? TACO is wearing thin already. Too bad the lazy media doesn’t call him out on it.

Planeloads of Russians’ Touch Down in Iraq as Moscow Eyes Oil, Nuclear Deals
Russia eyes new oil deals in southern Iraq to expand its influence beyond Kurdistan and replicate Iran-style long-term energy pacts.
Iraq helps disguise Iranian oil as its own, aiding sanctions evasion via shared reservoirs and covert cross-border drilling.
Talks on nuclear cooperation with Russia and China raise Western concerns about dual-use tech and regional power shifts.
EU weighs skeleton US trade deal with 10 percent tariffBrussels seeks backing from member countries, with days to go before Donald Trump’s deadline to do a deal or face 50 percent tariffs.
There is certainly no truth in Truth Social or out of the mouth of Donald Trump.
There were no 90 trade deals in 90 days, and this so-called beauty of a trade deal with Vietnam is one more lie in the tens of thousands coming from the delusional President.
Like the majority of developing countries worldwide, Vietnam cannot afford retail and wholesale US products. Their 2024 trade with the US was $136.6 billion to the US and just $13.1 billion in return. In relative terms, the Vietnamese are considered poor. Their month cell phone bill is $6. So when Trump boasts of a great trade deal, we know he’s lying. Vietnam has no tariffs on US products, and the US consumer now pays 20% to 40% on all products imported from the US, mostly cheap clothing. The American consumer was just ripped off for another $27-$42 billion in taxes.
There is no way that factories in Vietnam, which pay their workers US$0.88/hour, will move to the US, and there is no way America will ever regain its greatness by making cheap goods to compete with the developing economies of the world.
On another matter, I read the US Jobs Report this morning and knew it’s just one more lie being fed to the world today.
Trump has ended trade talks with Canada this hour. Says new tariffs are coming.
Trump has no clue. Of the 41.6 million Canadians, almost 90% or approximately 36 million reside within 100 miles of the US-Canada border. On the US side, there are roughly 12 to 15 million Americans, which is between 4 and 5%. So, who gets the worst hit by tariffs? All the resorts, hotels, motels, Airbnb listings, and ski hills in Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, upper New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Alaska are currently suffering and facing worsening conditions. Moreover, Canadians are already selling their US real estate, which is pushing prices lower in Florida and elsewhere. US farm and manufactured products are being refused throughout Canada. US liquor has been removed from the shelves. As a result. American families are losing jobs, and small companies are going bankrupt. The US dollar is in rapid decline.
Meanwhile, Canada has signed multiple trade and security agreements with the EU, the UK, Australia, South Korea, and other countries. Regardless of what I think of his social views, the Prime Minister has shown he is uber competent. I will say now that he is soon to be the most successful Prime Minister in Canada’s history.

I put this blog in ‘Life & Politics’ because this isn’t about investing or trading. It makes me sad what Trump is doing to America. Trump has filed for business bankruptcy in every major business he operated: the Trump Taj Mahal in 1991, Trump Plaza Hotel in 1992, Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts in 2004, and Trump Entertainment Resorts in 2009. The United States of Trump is next.
From the New Yorker: “Based on Internal Revenue Service transcripts of Trump’s tax returns from 1985 to 1994, the Timesreport said that Trump’s core businesses racked up losses of more than a billion dollars in a ten-year period. During 1990 and 1991, the story said, Trump’s losses were so large that they “were more than double those of the nearest taxpayers in the I.R.S. information for those years.” Moreover, the records “show that, between 1985 and 1989, a period when the economy was forging ahead and Trump was busy portraying himself as a billionaire with the Midas touch, his core businesses—apartment buildings, hotels, and casinos—somehow managed to lose $359.1 million. That was only the beginning. As the economy weakened in 1990 and 1991, Trump’s core businesses racked up losses of $517.5 million. And, between 1992 and 1994, as the economy recovered, they lost another $286.9 million.”
Trump bankrupted so many companies while telling people he is a financial genius. Now he’s stripping the US treasury and telling people to trust him. Well, Canadians, for one, don’t trust him. They already quit the relationship and, for reliable partners, have turned to the world.
This is victory for Trump. As long as the check to himself clears, His business model has always been to borrow, borrow, borrow, pillage and onto the next thing, i.e. Real Estate, Hotels, Golf Courses, Steaks, Trump University, TV, President, Trump Media, Crypto and back to President. He is a champion at the Art or not Giving a F*ck. He just keeps moving and grifting.
I must be in a good place, as my dreams have been amusing.
Power naps during the day have enabled me to work until 2 am most nights lately. Today, I awoke after I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was a police officer who asked me where I was going. I replied that I was looking for a toilet. He replied, “Here in Dordogne?” “Oh,” I asked, “Am I in France?” Then my eyes opened.

Shooting the messenger does not allow one to escape accountability.
When the President of the United States explodes in an “F* Bomb” tirade, literally screaming into the cameras, calling the US media “scum” and “fake news,” enough is enough. Opinion pieces as follows will now haunt the man until there are worldwide demands for a US regime change.
Voices: Trump’s refusal to accept unwelcome reality is his greatest weakness of all
Opinion by Sean O’Grady
“Fake news!” It’s been a while since we last heard that phrase from Donald Trump – this time, in response to a leak from the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) that Operation Midnight Hammer had not, after all, “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear drive.
Trump is not happy and has said as much. On the White House lawn he told reporters that: “CNN is scum and so is MSDNC [his favorite insult for MSNBC, referencing the Democrat National Committee]. And frankly, the networks aren’t much better. It’s all fake news!”
Even more touchy than usual, he also threw in an F-bomb, a little bunker buster of his own about the Iranians and the Israelis. On social media, he went full caps lock: “FAKE NEWS CNN, TOGETHER WITH THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES, HAVE TEAMED UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEMEAN ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MILITARY STRIKES IN HISTORY. THE NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN ARE COMPLETELY DESTROYED! BOTH THE TIMES AND CNN ARE GETTING SLAMMED BY THE PUBLIC!”
All very shouty, all very Trumpian, as if he were back on the campaign trail. He’s always been like that, like Humpty-Dumpty up on his wall, claiming that the truth is whatever he wants it to be, and that also happens to be what the public wants it to be – except here, of course, some 56 per cent of Americans disagreed with the bombing raids. It ain’t enough for him to just claim the obvious success of the raids, which did damage the Iranian facilities, even if they haven’t been “completely destroyed”, or just to refuse to comment on leaks. The White House released a tetchy statement that the DIA’s assessment was “flat-out wrong” and had been leaked by “a low-level loser in the intelligence community”.
For Trump, everything is personal, and nothing is ever dignified. The anger is palpable, the tantrum real, and yet another sign that this personality isn’t able to cope with alleged facts. He is one of those strange people who tries to make the world as he would wish it to be rather than accept it for what it is. Not unlike the now resurgent false claim that he won the 2020 presidential election, or that foreign countries pay tariffs, his seeming refusal to accommodate reality is doing vast damage to the fabric of American life, not least because he’s created a cult following who are prepared to take his every word as gospel. For them, the world is whatever Trump would like it to be.
Common sense dares not intrude in such circumstances, and certainly not in this administration. Question Trump, as Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard inadvertently did the other day, and you’re bawled out or fired. Gabbard stated to Congress that Iran wasn’t that near to making a nuclear bomb, and found herself publicly upbraided by the president. It would not be surprising that some public-spirited DIA official knew how Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth would react to the news about the alleged partial success of the mission, and suppress and deny it. The American public needs to know, and the president needs to be confronted with it, even when his first reaction is to shoot the messenger.
But common sense does tell us Operation Midnight Hammer wasn’t a complete success, nor could it ever be. The Iranians knew it was coming, or might be, and the known nuclear sites had already been bombarded by the Israelis. The prudent thing in such circumstances would be to move whatever can be moved to safer and more secret places.
There were satellite images of long queues of lorries at the mountain site of Fordo, maybe waiting to extract those 400 kilograms of precious enhanced uranium. That material may well have escaped total destruction. And the know-how and expertise embedded in the brains of the Iranian scientists and technicians have also mostly escaped the American and Israeli attacks.
There is no complete military solution to the Iranian nuclear threat that could ever be achieved militarily. It could be done by encouraging a counter-revolution in Tehran and installing a more friendly government, as the Israelis wish, but regime change doesn’t seem that inevitable, at least not imminently, and it would require further US intervention, which Trump has widely ruled out.
Operation Midnight Hammer was a success, but not the solution to the problem, as it could never be. Trump knows this, which is why he initiated the negotiations with the Iranians a few months ago. His instinct for a new deal was correct, even if things stalled and were then wrecked by the Israeli bombing attacks. Trump is so cantankerous and so vain that he seems unable to enjoy his victories for what they are and constantly has to exaggerate them, gold plate them – quite literally, in the case of the Oval Office – and make claims for them that are so extreme they can never be true in the real world. Everything has to be complete, total, 100 per cent, utter, and anyone who contests that is a liar and a traitor.
He is ridiculously insecure and disconcertingly haunted by his rivals, the Clintons, Barack
Obama, who has won the Nobel Peace Prize that Trump so longs for, and Joe Biden, who did beat him in 2020. He prefers to live in a fantasy world and parades the cynical royal fawning he gets from Sir Keir Starmer and NATO’s secretary general, Mark Rutte, as genuine love and respect. He’s a man-child, and a dangerous one. We knew all that, of course, but he’s just reminded us about it yet again. We’ve got the best part of four years of this, you know.
Sort of reminiscent of George Bushs “mission accomplished” speech. I think Trumps action were largely supported, but he should have just come out and said “we gave it our best shot and are waiting on military assessment”.. It is just not possible for him to be “normal”. I wouldn’t pass blame on not being able to blow up a mountain. It’s the lies that I have a problem with.

When they speak of money printing today, they are not talking about printing physical currency.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, subordinate to the UST, prints what the Fed believes the nation requires, in currency, in a given year, to support commerce and individual transactions.
