Chris,

>>I see a FED that is timid of fighting inflation for fear of what may happen to the stock market and the rest of the world.<<

That's my take on it too.

The only way I am aware of for getting the info on bonds is the Flow of Funds Report. It's complex though.

As Wayne suggested, the Flow of Funds report is probably the best source; Table L.1 on page 58 of the latest release is where I would start.

You might also want to check here for further general bond market info.

Chris, one critical distinction between 70's and now is the 70s had LBJ's guns and butter tab -government debt which tends to be monetized. Today we have huge public debts ( note I said debts NOT deficits) but great excesses in private debt. Major sumps have been the result of liquidating large private debts- deflation or credit contraction. Mike
