No credit? No assets? No problem at U.S. Treasury!

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

You may enjoy the "commercial" made for the U.S. Treasury Department by the "Nightly Business Report" program of the U.S. Public Broadcasting System. Note particularly the quickly-spoken "small print" at the end of the commercial: "This offer depends on the willingness of the Chinese government to continue buying U.S. government debt. Terms and conditions depend on the whim of Congress and may be changed without notice. U.S. taxpayers may not apply." You can watch the commercial at the PBS Internet site here:
