Propping up the Treasury market

Video from USAWatchDog.com
Commentary from RealEconTV.com

The Fed buys and sells government securities to create money. It's called open market operations.

Someone in Europe (in Belgium specifically) is buying a lot of US Treasuries.

Why?

That's pretty easy.

US Treasuries are getting dumped (Russia anybody?) and someone - not Belgium - is taking up the slack and China is not adding to its position.
