Economic Meltdown (seconda parte)

[kandrathe]

They seem to be engineered to lead the electorate down a primrose path, whereas business and the investor class are not fooled.

"The investor class" is buying US treasuries at incredibly high prices, even for long-maturing bonds. If they are not fooled, then where is their prediction of inflation? If hyperinflation is going to happen, then there is money to be made shorting US bonds, then "the investor class" should be doing that until prices drop... right?

Um... Like other government ponzi schemes, it's the Fed who are buying the bulk of t-bills (and hiding their true holdings). Now, convince 10 of your friends to buy t-bills... China and "smart" investors are clearing out of their US bond holdings, and most of our debt is in 90 day issue and not long term. Not good... definitely not good.
