  • Treasury sales not adding up.

    http://www.kitco.com/ind/willie/jul222010.html

    Does this article have any merit?
    Willie makes three points.

    1. for two years treasury issuance has exceeded federal deficit spending by a non trivial amount.
    2. The UK has bought 170B of treasuries over the last 5 months, seems improbable.
    3. The "Household" sector has bought 500B of treasuries over the last year. once again seems unlikely.

    Is this just a counting error on Willie's part?
