Yes, you can buy options or sell options to profit...

Dude, you have to try to think about these things for yourself. What does a failed auction mean? What does a govt's inability to fund its various fiscal measures mean?

Are you aware of bond auctions happening out there? There was one and it didn't go too well...

Good luck! You and the entire primary dealer community is lining up for a handout from the Fed. I think the dealers are quite a bit ahead of you in the queue, though.

Yes, this is one of the common critiques of the 'paradox of thrift' and it does make sense. However, stop bashing Keynes, pls, folks. He was a genius (just like Marx) for his time and he advanced our understanding of economics a lot, even with the things that subsequently were demonstrated...
