I'm constantly wondering who keeps buying these bonds?

A glib answer would be the Banks...they trade the CDO's for $$$ and then put it back into T Bills..

The Chinese have been shortening the maturity dates when they roll over their T Bills and then eventually take the money off the table and go buy Korean debt, and Euro debt.

I am reminded of the old Safaris surfin song....WIPEOUT...

By 2018 the USA will be paying $1,000,000,000,000.00 a year in interest...that is 40% of the current tax revenues of 2.5T....That is 1T a year in a transfer of WEALTH...
