It's about monetary policy. Our Keynesian Fed will keep
real interest rates negative as long as the economy sucks,
which folks expect due to credit bubble popping. That makes
treasuries a pretty bad investment. The fear peak of 2008
is unlikely to be exceeded, and re-emerging inflation will
gradually drain your treasury account. Unless we get Keynesian
screwup, the topic of this thread. Then T-bonds will simply
crash.

Gold, on the other hand, just loves negative real rates.
