Fund managers put in $500 million, and can instantly double their money interest free to $1 billion to play the treasury market.  Really amazing game to play if you can raise that kind of cash. It is a win win situation for the fund managers who will be taking managing fee right off the top from taxpayer money just for matching the funds.

Unfortunately, if you are working class, you will not be able to participate in this game where the rich gets richer.
