If the US government uses the bond dollars to buy goods and services then it is buying those with "debt" which is why the US debt burden is an even worse case scenario
than the Chinese bonds.
So you have answered your own question about the sound fiscal policies of the USA.
The country is a debt mire.

America brought down the world not Europe. The sub prime crisis and all the poisonous
CDOs from Lehmans and co. that were falsely marked up as AAA securities when they were junk .
What wrecked the world was the American Dream that is the American Greed.
Bill Clinton's repeal of the Glass Steagall Act and Ben Bernanke's belief that housing goes up but never down. What an asshole ! Has he never heard of the demand curve ?
Yes Bobaloola you guys fucked the world in the ass and now we are all suffering .
As for Europe it is also run by greedy pigs. The single currency has raped the continent.
We do not have a problem of free market capitalism we have a problem of investment, speculation and risk.

HA!

No doubt, to you, that's the case.

Again: irrelevant to my point in this thread (which -- again -- has whizzed by your head like a bullet).

Well, he introduced liar's poker to the world, the familiar bar game played with the serial number of a dollar bill, which is a watered-down version of Ouzo, like an attenuated virus he inoculates people with to keep them from catching the real thing.

Well, you certainly have had a lot of practice spouting socialism, so I I guess that makes you an expert, all right.

Do you not think the rot set in when Nixon did away the gold standard so that he could raise the cash to carpet bomb Vietnam?

I've never played liar's poker, so there's nothing to stop me catching Ouzo. How do you play?
