i reviewed govt debt maturity composition. it seems to be much more skewed toward the long end than it used to. back a few yrs ago there was only like $200 billion of T-bonds; now over $600 billion. on 10yr, i now agree Fed can't simply buy up the entire supply; it's too big.

on the bright side, this indicates the govt is getting smarter--they're selling tons of long-term debt at low rates, instead of just rolling over T-bills.
