discretionary bills if you can, reduce your exposure to payments that depend on monthly interest rates, which will probably go through the roof, being that the Fed is still insisting on tightening interest rates to fight interest rates, which is a good thing. If tRUMP had his way, he would have seized the Fed Reserve and made them print untold trillions of dollars to reduce the deficit (this action would instead make our dollars' worth very little). Also, our trading partners have dumped US Treasuries by the untold $billions. Who's going to buy our debt now?
