Will a Japanese Fire Sale Crash U.S. Debt?
www.cnbc.com
external-link
Profligate government spending has institutionalized multitrillion-dollar annual deficits, which have driven up interest rates and left Treasury markets teetering on the edge. Now Japan is on the verge of a $400 billion fire sale of U.S. debt. This could break the back of the Treasury market and devastate Americans’ finances.

      When I saw Heritage, my response flipped to NOPE. But I thought, charitably, hey give 'em a chance. LoL, NO. The 3rd take away point “cut spending” is right out of austerity thinking, which has been disproven. Buncha cranks. Spending without taxation to back it up, sure that’s problematic. And so is cutting spending ‘will he, nill he’. Funny how they never talk about cutting military spending. smh.

      I’m out of the loop. What did HF do to make you not take them seriously?

        It’s a right-wing think tank who, among many other things, are the architects of project 2025.
