U.S. Debt on Townhall

• Twisted into Oblivion Fri Sep 23
  Craig Steiner
  Translation for the perplexed analysts: The Federal Reserve will be virtually the only entity buying long-term (20 and 30-year) debt from the U.S. Government through mid-2012.

• Shocker: Axelrod Blames the Tea Party Mon Aug 8
  John Ransom
  One week after Democrats drove us to the brink of default because they wouldn’t cut the U.S. budget deficit, White House officials tried to blame everyone from ratings agencies to the Tea Party for the economic woes they created.

• Bernanke to Bail Out Obama Debt? Fri Jul 29
  John Ransom
  One Wall Street source has told me that he believes that in the event of a debt ceiling deal not being agreed to by the president and Congress that the Federal Reserve will stand in as the buyer of record on maturing Treasuries, therefore taking care of principal payments. The Treasury Department would then presumably only have to pay interest on the debt. ... more
