Just multiply the numbers on the y-axis by 3 and you've pretty much got where we've been, and where we're going. Rates were rising then. Foolish administration officials were saying (and doing) foolish things to spook foreign bagholders. Yeh, I know, "This time it's different!"<G>

I had a real Maalox moment yesterday morning. Thank god I had a heavy punching bag sitting next to the computer. I kept saying to myself, "100 hits, then you can cover . . . 100 hits, then you can cover . . . . 100 hits, then you can cover." By the time I'd gone through three rounds of that, I didn't want to cover any more.
