Why not invest in I Bonds as a protecton against inflation? I believe they are indexed to inflaton and will probably offer a better return on investment that the G Fund.

I am utterly flabbergasted that Fedsmith has linked this piece to Paul Krugman's NYT opinion piece. Had to be a mistake; I cannot recall Fedsmith giving any space over to an opposing viewpoint of this sort.
If it isn't a mistake, instead, then I must commend you for exposing Fedsmith's readers to something as controversial as an economics Nobel prize winner!

Hey people don't forget what US did to UK during the conflict for control of the Suez Canal in 1956. USA did not wanted to get involved and needed support from UK but UK decided to get involve anyway and with them they dragged France. At the time UK owned a large amount of bonds and President Eisenhower threatened the prime minister to liquidate the debt. The result?? England pulled out. Do you think the Chinese don’t know how to use their pieces?
