21. he means: I'm confident the treasury can sell all those bonds
you see, we pay taxes and that's it, the money is gone to the government. I'm ok with that as long as things are fair... but what we have now is this... the super rich and corporate powers, they tweak their tax bill so they pay nothing or next-to-nothing, then when the treasury has to issue bonds to keep operating the government with, these same rich bastards use the money that should have gone to pay their taxes, which they get to keep due to loop-holes, shelters, etc. and use the money to buy Bonds! so they get to use their money to keep the government operating, but they get it all paid back with interest!
