We established the Federal Reserve is buying $45B in Treasurys a month. But, what did you mean by buy back?

There's a difference in a completely artificial "debt ceiling" and not being able to afford the interest on debt.

I'm trying to understand what you meant by "buy back". Jesus Christ, how hard is it to answer?

It's really just started with the unsaturated continuation of Operation Twist last month.
And yet you still chastise China for being the largest currency manipulator.
Tell me, why is China's interest rates one of the highest in the world if it is a "currency manipulator" like you say?

Really? The debt ceiling is real. When you borrow more money past your credit limit, do you think you can get it at the same interest rate? Hell no.
And note my earlier post about only paying 1/3 of the current interest now.

i chastise them for having the audacity to tell the US what to do, when they have been doing it for years.
and if you are actually trying to deny that they are a massive currency manipulator then there isnt much point in a discussion.
please dont insult us by pretending that Singapore or Libya is worse. of course they are worse - they are also a tiny fraction of the economy china is. the worldwide effects are much different.

It's not a credit limit.
It's as much of a credit limit as me saying "I won't take on more then $10,000 in debt."
And once I get to $10,000 in debt rethinking once a see a new car on sale.
