So Gov't can default- never going to happen when you own a printing press or Gov't can inflate their way out of it.
I cannot come up with any other solution.
The rein of the dollar is over- it's just going to take some time for transition (10-20 years). Asia has all the money and all the people- don't underestimate what has just happened in this Country- Soros has it right. Doesn't mean the US won't be a nice place to live long term- still have all the food, all the water and democratic government but the run is over. I'm taking lessons in Mandarin.

It is easy to figure out the cost per person for SS and Medicare combined. The baby boomers are getting ready to redeem these entitlements.
What if the US were to offer everybody over the age of 65 one half the net present value of all of their individual estimated entitlements in exchange for their agreement to leave the US and renounce their citizenship? Most of these folks are seperate for cash right now and would probably jump at the chance to cash in and move to Costa Rica or Panama...........

Bailing out Chrysler, Bailing out LTCM, Implicit guarantees on Fannie and Freddie, community lending act- this is what has caused things to break down not Wall Street.
I cheer every time I hear a story of rags to riches or riches to more riches -that is what all of us aspire to and the dream is being taken away.
My little kids each now owe $485,000 in US debt and I don't think they should. I may not stick around- Jim Rogers move to Singapore was incredibly timely.

If I am a foreign holder of long term treasuries, wouldn't the Feds purchase drive down yields and offer me the once in a lifetime chance to sell/liquidate my holdings and create an opposite or greater selling pressure? Also, if Fed buys and yields drop, why would anyone else ever step in to buy our debt during that period if it is being artificially manipulated/propped up? When the Fed stops buying prices would collapse and my purchase would be a loser.
