Does Obama’s INABILITY to sell five year notes show early signs that his WASTE is DRYING UP his CREDIT?

Susiepolls2008 asked:


Yesterday marked the first time that Obama and Waste, Inc. encountered their first extreme difficulties in finding individuals to buy treasury bonds to funds his out of control spending habits. By erasing America’s ability to raise money through treasury bonds he has laid critical groundwork to bankrupt this nation possibly within a year’s time.

There are limits to how much the government can borrow without consequence — a fact underscored Wednesday when the Treasury had unexpected trouble selling five-year notes to cover Washington’s enormous borrowing. It might have been a hiccup, but it roiled the stock market and sent a worrying signal that Treasury might have to offer higher interest rates, which could throw a wrench into the recovery.

    IN THE EARLY 90′S I READ A BOOK THAT PREDICTED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THAT AT SOME PERIOD IN THE FUTURE THE GOVERNMENT WOULD PUT UP BONDS OR T-BILLS FOR SALE AND WOULD FIND NO BUYERS BECAUSE THE FEELING THAT THEY WERE TO RISKY. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE ONLY TWO SOLUTIONS

    ONE - BALANCE THE BUDGET
    TWO - PRINT MONEY

    first of all, he did sell the notes, though they had to increase interest by a half percent to do it, unlike the UK which failed to sell all its notes and will make it up at the next auction.

    second, you’ve got to balance your problems and solutions. Of course massive debt is a huge problem and we’re testing the limits more than anyone really wants to, but the history of such economic problrms shows that the risks of not spending enough to successfully stimulate the economy outweigh the risks of the debt, at least at current levels.

    that may changre.
