This may be good news. If Obama can’t sell Treasuries to finance his expansion of govt., he may be forced to raise taxes. Then, he will come under the scrutiny of the people. Then also, we will see how much those who voted for him will really love him after he does that.

The only thing he will be able to sell is empty talk to the MSM. Let’s see how long that keeps people satisfied.

At least among the subset of his voters who actually pay taxes, as opposed to those who are subsidized by taxpayers.

Option 3 (taking a chainsaw to the Welfare State) is not considered to be on the table, but is the only thing that would work.
