Interest rates must be held low in order for the US not to default. Yes, if they rise a few percent...it's all over. Nobody is buying US debt anymore which is why the Federal Reserve bought 61% of US debt in 2011. Nobody's buying our debt for good reason too because how dumb is purchasing a bond that offers negative real interest rates? Paying for the privilege of borrowing someone money is called charity, not investing. The US is borrowing $.45 of every $1 it spends and growing.

Typical guy on the internet thinks he knows everything. Your views seem so extreme... ("real estate afloat, banks from failing"), as if Bernanke raising interest a few percent would cause an economic collapse again. You are seriously advocating investing in SILVER? at a time when the economy is recovering and we could see all kinds of high growth rates?

Bernanke will never allow rates to rise. In fact, rates must continue to fall in order to keep real estate afloat and the banks from failing. Bernanke does have the ability to keep rates moving lower no matter the inflation because he can literally print an endless amount of money to do so, which is I advocate going long silver instead of shorting Treasuries.
