Hi Zeev,

"I am not sure where the gentle British economist (the story in a prior post) got his number of $30 B of treasuries being bought back, my calculations show that we have gone down by $100 B in the last 10 months (since 12/31/99) in the "public debt", thus the buy back must have been a solid $100 B, and that is a serious chunk of money to take out of the economy."

Actually, Zeev, I believe the $100B in this case has been dumped back into the economy. It was taken out of circulation and tied up in 30 yr bonds which only returned 5-6%. Now it has been released to find other returns.
