wow, I did not know this. 45% of paper is being backed by money market funds? Holy crap this is a train wreck waiting to happen.

---------------------------
Funny thing, though. Each time this happens, it increases investors' expectation that it will always happen. Before you can say "moral hazard," that presumption becomes a supporting beam of the whole money market. For perspective, according to the Investment Company Institute, money funds buy about 45 percent of all commercial paper.
