Stablecoin Bill 2025 in US
Sooo, since the federal government is backing private companies to supply cryptocurrency and these guarantees of investments are not requiring these companies to meet strict standards of auditing and saving safe amounts of cryptocurrency funds to insurance against losses, it greatly benefits owners. And a large number of members of Congress are investors. The industry corporations were major funding donors to US politicians with enough money donations to tip elections AND buy votes in US budget resolutions. The Trump family has profited a great deal from offering their family-branded cryptocurrency. Now the Trump folks and a large percentage of Congressmen and Senators have an open profit and greed motive to keep cryptocurrency a more dominate profit-policy in the US for the rich and ultra rich.
So how does this work for the majority of the public and small investors? Er, it doesn’t. And another risk to economic collapse of the US government and society. Oops, too bad, so sad. 2/3

Since the Sino-U.S. trade conflict began in 2018, China has used it to strengthen self-reliance, sharpen its strategies and turn Donald Trump’s tariffs into fuel for its long-term global resilience. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/17/world/china-winning-trumps-trade-war/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #us #trade #tariffs #chineseeconomy #useconomy

For clarity, the #inflation measure used here is the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which rose 2.7% from one year ago (all items, all urban consumers, not seasonally adjusted). This makes a 0.3% rise from the 2.4% 12-month rise in May.
All items minus food and energy rose 2.9% in the past 12 months.
Shelter rose a whopping 3.8% in the past 12 months and “was the primary factor in the all items monthly increase.”
Inflation ticked up some in the #USA , but we haven’t seen anything yet ( #MyThoughts ). There are many factors at play, like:
--> Much of Trump’s tariff plans were on hold (& the #inflation report looks backwards)
--> Businesses had front-loaded their inventory & consumers bought ahead (e.g., vehicles), anticipating #tariffs 
--> The Fed hasn’t lowered interest rates yet (though #Trump wants that & plans to appoint a new Fed chair)

As the U.S. pulls back, China claims to defend free trade and multilateralism but hasn’t matched its words with real action. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/11/world/china-a-defender-of-free-trade/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #us #freetrade #chineseeconomy #useconomy #globaleconomy #geoeconomicbriefing

Indeed. Larry Summers, Treasury Secretary during the prosperous Clinton administration, says about Trump's policies: "This is the biggest self-inflicted wound we've put on our economy in history."
He expatiates in the vid.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s concentration of power in the executive branch will lead to further trade friction, more corruption and less predictability. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/07/world/future-of-us-economic-policymaking/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #ieepa #donaldtrump #joebiden #tariffs #us #useconomy #usjapanrelations #geoeconomicbriefing
Despite U.S. President Trump’s trade pressure, Prime Minister Ishiba has held firm, constrained by politics and growing Japanese distrust of the U.S. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2025/07/04/japan-must-draw-trade-deadline/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials #shigeruishiba #donaldtrump #usjapanrelations #useconomy #japaneseeconomy #trade
Trade disputes, defense disagreements and diverging views on the Middle East have strained U.S.-Japan relations, casting doubt on the promised "golden age" under Trump and Prime Minister Ishiba. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/01/japan/us-japan-golden-age-no-more/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #donaldtrump #shigeruishiba #usjapanrelations #trade #useconomy #japaneseeconomy
“The last significant data for the first half of 2025, personal income and spending for May, was released this morning. It was the first month that reflected the impact of Tariff-palooza!, and boy howdy was it impacted. Not a single metric was positive. One metric was unchanged; everything else was negative. Let’s take a look at the carnage.“
