It never fails to amaze me how disconnected the perspectives on the US are from inside and the outside of the US. A friend of mine moved out of the US to the UK for a few years because his wife's job demanded it. As far as moving away from home goes, this is a minimal change; not like if he had moved to China or Saudi Arabia. He confided in me that for the first several months he could not believe his eyes and ears. He would tune in to US channels and other channels to verify what is true. It took him more that a year to "see". When finally came back to the US, he was adamant in wanting to change the country. We lost contact, so I am not sure what happened next. Sorry to digress. Let me ask you a simple question: If the US treasuries are so great, how come they sell for half the price of other major bonds? And that is well after the other countries raised their rates "sky high". In fact at some point in time US treasuries were 5x cheaper than EU's. You'd think that if they are so desirable, then the US could raise the price of its treasuries and solve its deficit problems.
