Congressional negotiators release spending bill to avoid government shutdown
Congressional negotiators unveiled a 99-page spending bill that would keep the government funded through the start of the fiscal year 2026.
If passed by March 14, the bill would avoid government shutdown.
The bill largely maintains current spending levels the same.
An additional $8 billion would be included for defense programs and an additional $6 billion for veterans' healthcare.
Non-defense spending would drop by about $13 billion.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet – Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I would have quoted the Foghat song from 1975 but the lyrics are so non-sensical that I went with Rousseau. With that said, it’s good advice for those who are looking to prosper from a market downturn. The fundamentals may be moving in a negative direction and interest rates may still be high but trying to short this market is akin to storming a heavily fortified position. You can succeed but it’s going to be expensive.
The Treasury and the Fed learned their lessons from 2008 which is why they snuff out any selling pressure before it gains momentum. I developed a theory about ten years ago to explain what’s happening and it revolves around the old football adage “the best defense is a good offense.”
As long as the Fed can inject liquidity into the banking system, the Fed’s agents can run up asset prices. The best way to run up asset prices is to catch speculators short the price of those assets. This has been the story since 2009. The more equity prices rise, the more fixed income is deemed safe based on the relationship of equity being riskier than debt. The wealth-effect provides a stabilizer to economic growth as it gives the consumers fortunate enough to have financial assets a green light to spend on luxury goods.
Owning Nvidia’s stock doesn’t induce shareholders to consume more eggs or other sundries. This is why I blame the Fed for today’s artificially exaggerated equity values and why I largely give them a pass for consumer inflation. Congress and Treasury are to blame for consumer prices while the Fed merely drives the getaway car.
Ukraine loses access to US commercial satellites
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has suspended the service at President Donald Trump’s behest
The US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has stopped providing Ukraine with satellite imagery paid for by Washington, several media outlets have reported, citing a statement by the agency. The decision was made in line with President Donald Trump’s “directive on support to Ukraine,” it said.
The move follows Washington’s recent freeze on further weapons deliveries and intelligence sharing with Kiev, which, in turn, came on the heels of last Friday’s altercation between Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky and President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance at the White House. The US head of state accused Zelensky of ingratitude and “gambling with World War III” by refusing to seek peace with Russia.
