I was watching Beck yesterday and it appears the government is buying its own bonds.

Correct.

They’ve been doing this for awhile now. The pc-term for this is called Quantatative Easing (QE).

QE is fed-speak for PRINTING MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR, because China, Japan and The Petro-Arabs can’t or won’t buy U.S. debt like they used to just a year ago.

So, the U.S. now buys the U.S.’s debt. What could go wrong?

What do you mean, "it appears"? That is exactly what they are doing!

"I was watching Beck yesterday and it appears the government is buying its own bonds."

And who is the government? Us!
