I don't. It reminds me of the Russian bond debacle, when everyone was in a panic and thought the Russian world would come to an end. My brother bought those bonds at a large profit and continues to make a mint on eastern european and now is in Argentina bonds. I'm starting to listen to him ...

Problems they have, but like most media-type events, these could be exaggerated to lower rates for the swap.

As far as other debt in the US, we'll continue to be highly influenced by Fed rates and oil prices - if those stay beneficial it'll provide hundreds of billions in benefit to consumers and business, along w. the unecessary tax cut.

This is a business-led recession, not consumer, so once inventory is worked off we should expand again even w. 6% unemployment, imo. I get the impression that companies are more fungible and flexible than the last recession so can handle debt restructuring faster, and faster re-hiring of laid-off employees of bankrupt companies.
