One last thing. Whoever was on CNBC does not make capitalist/market centric sense.

Your original argument boils down to the world doesn't have much of an alternative and they have to buy the US debt.

I am telling you it is the opposite.

Look at it from a European perspective: The EU is telling you to that if you give them your money, then you will get ~2.8% in return. The US is telling you that if you are willing to part with your Euro and convert it to USD, then you will get ~4.3%. In other words, the US government is begging you to give up your Euro for USD and they are willing to pay you 50% more than Eurobonds if you do.

This is pure capitalist interpretation. If the world did not have a choice but to buy US treasuries, then they'd be begging the US for the privilege of keeping their money safe. Instead, the US government so desperate to get their money that they pay 50% more than EU.

So all politics aside, the markets are telling you a very different story than CNBC talking head.
