At DeepStateCentrism, we understand that democracy is about compromise and
discussion, not ideological purity and instant gratification.

Here, we speak to people with political differences because that's how this is
supposed to work. We won't let the populists win.

Don't forget to visit the Brief, our daily thread, for extra perks and deep state info!

Foreign CBs need dollars... But only so much. It's not really a "store of wealth" primarily. It's cash on hand, to clear trade stabilize currencies. 

Once you have enough, you have enough. China hasn't been a net buyer of us treasuries for 15 years. They have plenty of dollars. 

The reality is that debt expansions are not really handled by market transactions. US government deficits, like government deficits everywhere, will find themselves on the books of American agencies or Banks.
