Thanks scott, re: <<Investors abroad held $2.1 trillion of the $4.11 trillion marketable U.S. Treasury securities outstanding during the month, according to Treasury figures.>> So what is the tipping point, they hold 50% of it now..Is it 2/3, 3/4 or 100% or maybe even 110-20%(hey it could happen, we could bamboozle them for awhile). And when we tip, what do we tip into when they call it in? I don't know.. I would guess into a depression and then extreme inflation to bail us out.. And our society can not handle either. It would be complete chaos. . There are damn few "Village Blacksmiths" among us. So we better not tip.. m
