This model depends on Joe buying the bonds. If Joe is China then Joe(China) can(and, I believe, will) dictate the terms under which Joe(China) will buy the bonds. If you want US economic policy to be dictated by Joe(China) OK. I call it treason.

"Best-kept secret about the national debt: Nobody will ever have to pay it back"

You should max out all your credit cards and get another mortgage! But you probably already have, haven't you?

Cool website. I am also a skeptical optimist. Right now enjoying the benefits of a global warming trend that has been occurring for since about 1850 A.D., the end of the Little Ice Age (which occurred 1550 A.D. ~ 1850 A.D.), right after the Medieval Warm period (800 A.D. ~ 1300 A.D.).

All dates approximate, of course.

Some people cry over lemons, some people make lemonade and lemon marmalade and lemon curd.

Example of the latter ~ French wine makers buying farm land in the south of England, optimistically anticipating that the warming trend will continue and they will be able to grow wine grapes there, just as was done during the Medieval Warm.

And perhaps the Danes will build summer homes in Greenland again.

Why does it not surprise me that someone who can't understand a 2-bar excel graph would fall for this ruse also. Your gullibility knows no bounds.....LOL!

MON.

thats like the 100% finance, interest only scheme that folks use to buy a house. Eventually it bites you in the butt. No such thing as a free lunch.
