Why Are Investors Returning to the Dollar?

Guys, the line about "the best politicians money can buy" is a joke. It sounds like a compliment but can also be interpreted to mean that they can be influenced by campaign donations or other means. I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant as praise here.

I've been wondering about the strength of short Treasuries also. I wonder if it's just that people need a place to park the proceeds from selling some other asset, and they have too much (over FDIC limit) to risk putting it into a bank that they are afraid could go under. So, with Treasuries at least you are sure you will get it back, whereas you can't necessarily say that for anything else out there.
