Mish:

You sound more like Bill Gross every day.

Did you ever consider that in an economy with NO SAVINGS sending interest rates through the floor might add to our problems over time.

Interest rates have been too low way too long.

We need a recession and decent real rates to encourage saving and set the stage for a healthier economy and financial system.

Ron Paul -- whose candidacy you support -- is the only politician who has had the guts to criticize the Fed's easy money policies head on.

Unless this nation breaks its addiction to super easy money the future will be very grim for all of us IMHO. Far worse than a mere recession.

Acting rationally(?)........or are there really offshore "Enron-like" entities "artificially" buying our long-term government bonds????

In other words.....a completely rigged market.

I've heard and read stories about this the last few years and wonder if any of this is possible??

I ask this in all seriousness...

....This would be highly inflationary I would think (for at least a time until exposed) if this was true.
