Not free...all of them are passed between various statist entities (AKA "Central Banks") with a sliver of real traders thrown in for flavoring (AKA, to claim that it's a "free market"....which is why all of the arguments about "the Fed being too tight because long rates are low" are specious.....they're too low because FCB's are buying them to recycle the current account surpluses. A nice side effect (for them) is that this practice helps the export oriented economies by keeping the junkie (AKA "US clownsumer") hooked on consuming.

Do you think 91-day U.S Dollar T-bills are not bought, sold, and traded in a free market with rates set by market participants? How about 6-month bills? 2-year Notes? 5-year Notes?

I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.

Then to stretch out a little more, 10-year Notes?

I'm not sure what your point is, are you trying to argue that there is a free market for short term money because we all trade government securities freely?
