Richard, many many months ago more than once i asked politely for anyone to give me a 101 lesson in that with names like bonds, yields and other descriptions i now forget that were discussed on this thread with qualifiers like 10 year 30 year and i think a something 30 year was cancelled and i got zero help but then, happens a lot for i no problem but, moving on has to do with the manner the United States makes or creates or sells money, or using same to off load its debt or whatever, as it seems to be nonsense to me that the USA can not be run like a business or even a family you work, spend some each day and each day save some for that heavy rain day but to obtain a huge debt is insane especially when people accept it as o.k. just so long as its always o.k. then never forever will it not be o.k. or, Alice in BunderLand sicko or matters not Richard this stuff not now not anymore as a limit has been reached like i recently posted many past fallen house of cards did not make a sound because the USA government working/forcing with all nations build new house structures around each house of cards preventing that messy collapse and now not if, but the Mother of when before 2005 a World Depression deep & long one for the history books a.k.a. will not be repeated for a long time x10 the normal history repeating itself paper money is extra too way too much with debt private & government much much too high so, do the math Richard but then, don't really have to why Richard, is doing the math a useless task why Richard do the numbers need not be crunched or, need to wallpaper more articles Richard before you can answer or have you already answered in you already hung wallpapper golly Richard, its just two parameters paper money, its real value based on the goods & services available debt, world wide exceeds current face value of money present if one calculates real worth of this face value of money so, answer Richard, please as this babble has limits but, forgot the question Richard best bet is yes Hint: Gata Bill's LeMetropoleCafe.com has both the question and answer ok, once again too much fiat money a.k.a. printing numbers on toilet paper does not match goods & services available that in itself causes hyper inflation 10 cents cup of 1955 coffee today is 50 cents but take off manipulation, surpression or simply allow the rest of them Enrons to fall so, tomorrow is 5 dollars the real value of a cup of coffee to reflect x10 too much paper ok, well, what are you waiting for the second piece needed to make the question full is what Richard remember, its so easy so close to money creation that money iou(s) debt high great large too too big private company & government seems like everything and everybuddy is in debt ok, stop spinning dizzy Richard i just re-did it for you answer the question so, still no ok, Hint: How to resolve the fiat out of control With the debt out of control was not the question but why that is not the question why it need not be done the number crunching tell you what since you posted clueless on this topic as if its something to look into while it already has and already resolved to a conclusion at Gata Bill's Cafe cough up 150 or 199 clams or whatever it is and see what that light at tunnel's end is really about ak
