Demand for treasuries in the US will easily replace any falloff by FCBs.

Mish, if the masses in the US replace the FCBs as the big buyer of treasuries, wouldn't the US govt be tempted to start monetizing debt? With everyone rushing to save and a lot of those folks not particularly knowledgeable I see a real temptation for the govt to do this. They couldn't get away with it while FCBs are the main buyers, but could with Joe Public. Or does that not make sense?
