This is the most gigantic candy in the coal mine almost nobody is talking about!!!

US debt has been growing like crazy since before I was born, and the biggest way we float it is by selling it with low interest bonds that were always a safe investment which is why so many of the world's richest people parked their money here. Now we are seen as less safe and the US bond market is starting to show a world reversal of that sentiment.

When nobody is buying our bonds, the talk you've been hearing about inflation for the past two years will seem like a welcome respite.
