Why Default on U.S. Treasuries is Likely


Why Default on U.S. Treasuries is Likely
"Many predict that, instead, the government will inflate its way out of this future bind, using Federal Reserve monetary expansion to fill the shortfall between outlays and receipts.
But I believe, in contrast, that it is far more likely that the United States will be driven to an outright default on Treasury securities, openly reneging on the interest due on its formal debt and probably repudiating part of the principal."

Yikes!
Read it all...and cower in your basement!
