“You can buy a 6-month T-bill that’s yielding north of 5%. Why wouldn’t you buy that instead of a long bond that’s yielding 4¾?”That 4.75% coupon is literally worthless at maturity with this high inflation.

Short term treasuries are ok. But you have to be on a suicide mission to invest in 30 years bonds. Not only will escalating interest rates and inflation clobber the holder, but never expect to see a credit rating uptick in treasuries. We are on a constant roll of a declining rating to junk status as the debt drives us into insolvency

“Nobody wants US Treasuries”
Complete nonsense.

To the contrary, in the last few weeks the US Bond Index rose from 107 to 115.
So someone seems to want to buy US Bonds.
