I have a way to solve this easily. They just needs to change the rules and charge negative interest rates on the treasury bills that FED has bought. Problems solved. In fact, I should patent it so that they should also pay a very small percentage of royalty to me.
Rating companies say if debt (borrowing) ceiling gets raised, US may preserve it's AAA rating. That logic is totally non-sense. if a borrower ( like the US) keeps borrowing more to pay off old debt, being the lender, why would you allow him to borrow more? deal or no deal on the debt ceiling isn't the issue--rather, politician's partisan agenda is what everyone is fighting for. even no deal, money will stay w/ the US (gov't bonds) because there's simply no safer alternative to park it. interest rates will fluctuate but remain at depressed level due to fundamentally weak economy
【在 K******S 的大作中提到】 : just a political game, the debt ceiling has been lifted many many times : before. So I'm not really worried about it.
