“Japan’s government bonds were bought by its own old people (or their pension funds). They put their savings in the safest possible place – government bonds – to be used to finance their retirements. How will the Japanese government make good on all these bonds? The answer is the same as the answer to this question: How will this debt-financed hullabaloo turn out? Simple: Japan will stiff its own grey-haired creditors – either by inflation or by default. Argentina, by the way, is already ahead of the game. It nationalized private retirement funds – to ‘protect’ them, of course. And now, the president aims to ‘protect’ US retirees in the same way.”
