Our Treasury Secretary may be able to persuade the BOJ from selling their U.S. Treasury bond holdings (for a while), but not the Chinese nor private entities such as the world's largest sovereign wealth fund or individual investors globally (who understand the enormity of our problems). All he's doing is delaying the inevitable and encouraging the incorrigible U.S. government spendthrifts to keep on piling up the debts and deficits. Good luck with your short-term market interventions, Mr. Secretary.
