most of the world is now leery of the US dollar and they are not buying our treasury bonds, notes. Many are joining the Brics nations now. As they stop financing our debt, the Fed has to make up the difference, printing more money, and increasing the national debt even faster, debasing the dollar ever faster. As I mentioned before, the US is going into debt by another trillion every 3 months. How long do you think that can keep going on before it all goes boom?
