Liberty
Campaigners!
Please help get your
Senators and Representatives on board as cosponsors of the Federal Reserve
Transparency Act of 2009 (H.R. 1207 and S. 604, and also related bill S.
513). H.R. 1207 has 44 cosponsors and counting! Looks like RP has
got Bernie Sanders on board, sponsoring these bills in the Senate.
Amazing! The momentum is building. Call/email/fax your Senators and
your Congressman as regularly as you can (e.g., daily) until they sign on as
cosponsors on these bills. You may need to educate them and their staff in
the process.

If I understand the treasury bubble right it will dwarf the
housing bubble. Basically those with treasuries are looking to sell them, but
the government is looking to sell the new ones as well with the huge deficits.
The Fed has to start to buy them up because the treasury market will crash
otherwise, and of course the Fed can only buy them with newly printed money,
which causes inflation, which devalues treasuries. Eventually the Fed will have
to buy all treasuries as they will be worthless. Of course, inflation is already
on the way so treasuries are already on a downward spiral, so it's pretty much
assured that the treasury market is next. What's worse is if the Fed goes
that route and begins to purchase treasuries they will devalue all other debt.
As a result, they will have to move to prop up that market as well. Of course,
with all the debt in our society there is no way we can bail out all debtors and
avoid hyperinflation.

Here’s an interesting article for more detail on the drivers
for treasuries. Check out the other links at this site as well.
