[via PDK] We know that the budget has passed with $162 billion. It was $153 B last year…There is plenty in the news showing us it is passed…but I have yet to find where they are covering a budget shortfall with a rate…I was told to expect something within days of it being passed. Comment: Its interesting they are saying billions and not trillions for their budget totals. They must have a rate hike? Right? MarkZ: You are getting it. We are just trying to piece together “what is that rate?”
