THE TREASURY BUBBLE BLOWS ON<\/strong> – by Paco Ahlgren – … Who is going to buy the manifold trillions of dollars more the United States intends to auction this year?<\/strong> I think the brilliant minds at Treasury have fallen victim to the if-you-build-it-they-will-come affliction. Somebody needs to send them an email and let them know that Kevin Costner is a weenie, and none of his movies should be the basis for projected demand at Treasury auctions.
