What banks seem to be doing at the moment is taking advantage of low interest rates set by the fed to buy Treasury bonds. So, they get money for next-to-nothing and a safe return on their investment.
But, I've been wondering, could we be setting up a Treasury bond bubble?
Should taxpayer money be used to enrich a finance industry that doesn't lend?
It's a good gig, but how can it last?
