The US will sacrifice the dollar to save the bond market.
It doesn't matter who is in power or how tough they act...
When push comes to shove, they will always choose to print to save the bond market.
Former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan put it best:
"The US can pay any debt it has, because we can always print money to do that."
Greenspan = Powell = Warsh = the next Fed Chair
Just look at the poor fellow next to him as he slowly realizes...
We all don't own enough hard assets for what's coming.
