Jim Willie, I think the world would be willing to appease Bush if it weren't for the horde of T-Bonds (Russ's Old Maid cards) they hold.

<rates must be 2% to 3% higher in order to attract more foreign bond investment> Do you know how much that will add to the deficit? Right now the government owes 7.4 trillion: publicdebt.treas.gov If all of this debt is refinanced at a 3% higher rate than today, it would add 211.4 billion more to this years deficit which in all likelyhood will be around 700-800 billion. Are we really going to have deficits exceed a Trillion dollars a year? I wonder how much of this debt is going to be refinanced in the next 12 months. The dollar is done. I don't see how anybody can be bearish on gold, silver, oil and most commodities. I am interested in investing in companies that own farm land. Any suggestions?
