9. Great explanation on #bonds! #money
10. Thank you.
11. Please continue what you do.  These are the best illustrations of macroeconomic principles. 
12. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought treasury bills mature at 1 year or less, treasury notes mature between 1 - 10 years and treasury bonds mature at over 10 years... Why is the title treasury bond and then he talks about a 1 year maturity. I'm confused :(
13. Rothschild and his Jewish buddies murdered our for-Fathers on the Titanic 1912 that were against the establishment of the FED which gave the Satanist Jews a bottomless Ocean of phony cash to train non-Jewish militarists to go and murdering innocent non-Jewish people all over the world because the lying Jewish Medias labels them Theorists. Support our troops? Using phony money as value of exchange? Phony money that is used to kill all non-Jews? Force your eyes open!!! And do not use phony money as value of exchange!!! See how we are enslaved as Police, Militarists to dance to the Jewish Phony money. Committing genocide to non-Jews is the Jewish aim. Save the children!!! 
    And pass it on!!!
14. Excellent presentation ... well done!
15. Not necessarily unsustainable. What's unsustainable is having a large debt to GDP ratio. If an economy has growth then borrowing matching that growth isn't really a problem as long as debt to GDP-ratios stay in control.
16. The government needs money for whatever billion dollar projects, departments, and wars they need to finance, so they simply borrow the money from "investors" at interest. What you and I would call a contract for repayment, the government calls bonds. It's just wordplay. This puts the government in debt. What happens when the investors want their money back and the government is only in MORE dept than before? Either print money (inflation) or borrow to put printing off until later. Unsustainable.
17. LoL AT LAST I UNDERSTOOD :D thank you
18. Thanks for sharing.
19. Love the 4 minute videos. Perfect for when I don't have time or energy to delve into science or math, I can just kick it and learn about the treasury and hedge funds!
20. anyone wants to be my nerdy friend??
