"slightly less valuable than expected" is not "worthless"! The hyperbole bubble is getting exhausting. People really want to talk a crisis into existence. Are they bored?

If you happen to be holding any "worthless" Treasury bonds, I would be happy to take them off your hands for $0.10 on the dollar.
