Ron Insana Kindly Requests The Fed Lower Rates
To Negative To Help His Virtual Portfolio

raising rates before both its employment
and inflation mandates had been met, and
reduce the Federal Funds rate back to zero,
pending further improvements in the
economy. Certainly, the Federal Reserve risks its credibility by admitting an error, but that is a far better outcome than risking recession by not doing
so"
Total U.S. Debt Surpasses $19 Trillion; Rises $8.4
Trillion Under President Obama

02/01/2016 - 16:47 Two months ago, when we calculated that the
US would need a new debt ceiling of $19.6
trillion to last until after Obama's tenure, we
may have been overoptimistic: since the hard
limit of $18.15 trillion which was raised at the
end of October, the US appears to be growing its debt at a far faster pace than we had originally expected, and
according to the latest public debt data, as of the last day of January, total US debt just hit 19,012,827,698,417.93.
