Faul,
I'm Sorry! A reference to a gold bug site and a five or six second blurb by a CNBC commentator made almost three years ago IS NOT a credible source. Again, I'm not really disputing you but I would like to see a government source of some sort verifying this fact that you are putting out. Generally, when you cannot sell your debt you have to increase your interest rate to a point where you can attract buyers. Just look at some of the European nations such as Greece and Spain. Our interest rate on our debt approaches an all time low right now and the media in several outlets stress that the world is clamoring to buy our debt, thus driving the interest rates lower because of the perceived safety of United States ability to cover its obligations in an uncertain world.
Again, I'm not saying that you are wrong but would just like to see a good source.
Regards,
Joe
To say that "God exists" is the greatest understatement ever made across space and time.
