@PatriciaNPino Zack needs to explain that gilts are a privilege not an economic imperative or a fundamental human right. Say he’s prepared to take the privilege away (or return to tap system) if bond holders abuse it, and that he will not be intimidated because he understands that the purpose…

Only an idiot or knave would claim so.
