Ellison Co-Sponsors Appalachian Community Health Emergency Act [Published Fridley Patch - Apr 22 2013]

Finance: The safe asset shortage : "[A] conversation I had over Twitter with David Beckworth…. We agreed that there are too few safe assets relative to the demand. But where I thought the government ought to issue more Treasury bonds to satiate investors, he thought that the solution was to induce the private sector to 'create; more safe assets. I doubted whether that is possible…. [A] genuinely safe asset… [is] liquid… may sometimes pay investors less than inflation but they always pay out what they say they will…. Assets that only sometimes keep their promises cannot be called safe, however, even if they fool people into believing otherwise for significant periods of time. So, can the private sector issue genuinely safe assets? I don’t see how, since private borrowers always have some default risk…. [I]nvestors in private credit act asas if there is almost no risk for long periods of time before suddenly freaking out. When everyone decides to sell their loans at the same time, it becomes very difficult for any individual investor to dump his holdings. Thus, private debt also has a nasty tendency to become illiquid. These are not the characteristics of a safe asset…. The euro crisis can be thought of in a similar way. Greece’s sovereign debt problem spooked investors about Italian debt because, despite the fact that Italy has one of the world’s largest primary budget surpluses and has been steadily lowering its debt/GDP ratio for decades, Italy cannot print its own currency…. One would think that this would be the end of the discussion, but Mr Beckworth has a different definition of 'safe' than I do, which, to be fair, comes from Mr Gorton and his colleagues…. Mr Gorton is well aware of the changing nature of 'safety' and believes that the government needs to play a role. His preferred solution is to have the state make certain types of unsafe assets genuinely safe by regulating and guaranteeing them. Of course, that would mean that the government is the one creating the safe assets…. [I t seems that there are only two ways to relieve the shortage of safe assets: the government could issue more debt or the government could guarantee private debt… the effect on the government’s balance sheet is the same."
