"The (US Treasury)bond market is the next to collapse. The current buyers are like condo flippers looking to sell to someone else". "It's just another ponzi scheme as each buyer buys to sell until there are no buyers and it collapses"(this is because the government always needs NEW lenders for them to pay the interest and principle back to last set of lenders plus more to for new spending.)

I didn't realize until recently that it's possible to short Treasury bonds
