Working on a revision of our state-contingent debt (SCD) premium paper (joint with Kris Mitchener), and it's really fascinating right now! 🧵#Econsky

1/ The main question is: if SCD is so good at smoothing shocks, why don't you do it?

When you know a bailout is on the way
Javier Milei and Donald Trump standing next to each other in suits, with both men giving two thumbs up in the most awkward way possible. Both are smiling and have the look of wax figures. There's a desperation evident in both men. They both know their time is limited. They know they will one day turn to dust, just as every fascist that has come before them has done. But they cling to power with every breath. They believe they can find still more people of little means on which to enact their brutality. They will feel like big men again. That is all they want in the world.
