With the First Quarter Fund Flows Now Coming in, in Today's

Current Account figures, we once again get a another picture of what the FED has been ordered to do: prop of the dollar and T-Bonds while colluding in the govt's plan to deflect attention away from the source of dollar and T-Bond problems: the supernova expansion of US govt spending and debt. These guys are worried about investment inflows, and the TIC data for April and now this Q1 stuff shows they've got lots to worry about.
