  • 20-Year Treasury Bond ETF Could Be Safe Haven from Overbought Equities  [View article]
    Treasury bills may be an effective place to protect yourself from devaluation short term. But by now everyone should have got the message that deficit finance and creation of paper money out of thin air by the Fed is a major part of the problem and federal bonds are part of that process. What could be more unpatriotic then than buying mortgages on your country, which is what you do when you buy government bonds? In the long run then (and perhaps not so long) those bonds you purchase will hasten the devaluation and possibly the ultimate destruction of the dollar.

  • Fun with Government Bonds [View article]
    Sure, buy T bills and take out a mortgage on our already bankrupt country.
    Here's a novel idea: Why don't we insist that the federal government start abiding by the Constitution? We've had nearly a hundred years of managed economy under the Fed...How about giving the free market a chance? That which is inefficient and unprofitable SHOULD fail. By the way, the Constitution granted congress the power to coin (not print) money and it did not grant them the power to delegate that power to a private cartel
