Around $414bn of US taxpayers money went on sovereign interest payments last year That is slightly less than the entire GDP in 1957.

Sadly, it’s a mystical art to most Americans now. I know most of my wife’s family has no understanding what so ever of economics and while they’re not great thinkers, they’re not below average either. It’s just something that they were never taught as to how it matters to people on a daily basis.

Thank you. I shot from the lip.
Note that the 10-year rate is back to where it was six months ago and 53bps below eleven months ago.
Dec 10/10 3.32%
Nov 10/10 2.65%, 67bps increase, 25.3%
Oct 8/10 2.41%, 91bps increase, 37.8%
Jun 15/10 3.32%, same as Dec 10/10
Jan 11/10 3.85%, 53bps decrease, (13.8%)
So with demand from current, and likely expanded, POMO volume, will the yield decline again, or will long-term inflation concerns control? History says supply and demand wins.

Unexpected by whom? You know, the usual "experts" to whom every predictable and inevitable reaction to well-studied actions is a friggin' surprise.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

REPEAL THE TAX CODE! The Federal Reserve and Tax Cheat Geithner have proved beyond a doubt that the Federal government can now just print and spend money. No need to further burden the tax paying public. Just pull a Federal budget out of the executive's *ss, have Congress pass the thing, have the Treasury whip up some bond documents and sell them to the Fed! Who needs tax payers anymore?!?!?! Or, Chinese lenders for that matter!

Nah, they cant even print money. Did you here about the huge printing of $100 bills that had creases in them and all have to be destroyed now. Just wait until they start running the health care system!
