Despite $400 billion deficts, the Treasury (not the Fed) has taken it upon itself to place $38 billion in sweetheart loans (TIO)(*) to Boyz into the market. Notice the interest rate the UST charges for this subsidy at taxpayer's expense:

So that's the float strategy for the time being. Might want to be a bit careful on dark side bets until most of these mature? I don't see how the Treasury can afford this for long however, they have bills to pay.

1-28 $2 billion
2-1 $10 billion
2-2 $13 billion
2-3 $5 billion
2-4 $4 billion
2-8 $4 billion
