I think the important lesson from the interest rate chart of the 1930's is you can't expect long-term interest rates to decline much further without an increase in short-term rates.

Japan has disrupted this normal relationship by bypassing their banking system and making long-term loans directly from the Treasury with newly created money.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan says a declining dollar will help curb America's huge trade deficit but suggests it could happen sooner if Japan and China's currency interventions were smaller.

Greenspan also said that while U.S. interest rates have been very low for some time, they'll have to rise eventually.
