With some of that intrest that the FED is collecting they should just buy some bitcoin. Dont see why they would want to hold onto the same dollars they are creating. But I would assume they are buying gold with it, While JP Morgan is shorting it for them. Then the fed will release the new Golden Bitcoin!

Hopefully the inflation increases a bit, debt interests need to be payed from next debt and only steady inflation keep this monetary system

The real interest rate paid by government is negative - that's why its so easy for it to borrow.

Are you saying now is not a good time to invest in US dollars??

As good as investing in ice in the desert without proper cooling equipment.

Between Oct. 1, 2013, the first day of fiscal 2014, and Nov. 14—which was less than a month after Congress agreed to temporarily suspend the legal limit on the federal debt—the Treasury was forced to issue more than $1 trillion in new debt.

Fuel for the fire?
