[Old Sarge]

China has been a willing participant in this endeavor, but lately they've begun to stumble, so who's left to take up the slack?

Russia.

Or OPEC.

Or the EU.

Or any of a number of global interests.

Sorry Sarge. You apparently are woefully misinformed, or ignorant of the current world financial markets.

Russia - experiencing extreme economic problems with devaluation of the ruble;

OPEC - the steep decline in oil revenues has resulted in severe economic stress;

EU - they might buy some, but they have their own problems and are trying to sell their own debt.

If yyou don't believe me, research it. We're in a period of deflation and the old ponzi scheme of debt is beginning to crumble. The Fed can continue for a while, but eventually something has to give.
