| johntan1979 | I guess II is not correct because government could be ANY government e.g. Greece or Spain. |
| jonan203 | lol, default free, i pray to god that assumption stands over the next few decades. |
| Groyne | Spain has not defaulted |
| Logaritmus | But they will default without quantiative easing. Before EU their bonds have yield >10%. |
| khalifa92 | issuance aint related to risk-free technically 1-3 contributes |
