AllansAlias: OT Don't you find it unacceptable to be throwing around such childish insults like "sissy" and "sister". They are meant to insult I am sure, but I think it serves only to belittle the poster. Would the same thought process ring true regarding those that refer to others as "clowns"? Regards, LG

I do consider using language of that nature is not a good idea in a public discourse. However, such words do start getting used when one starts banning people just because they disagree with your view. Bond traders would love to continue to lend money to uncle sam at ridiculously high rates. Why should the govt play that game when it is clear that inflation is dead for the forseeable future? If you were in the govt's shoes, what would you do? I have never heard any of you ever say what you would have done. You keep on saying that the govt is manipulating the market. Why isn't continuation of the bond a manipulation? The fact is that anything the govt does could be considered a manipulation.
