'Rates also were historically low during the 2000-2002 big bear'

Not until the second half of 2002 were long term rates even close to where they are today. By then the damage was done.. Steepen the yield curve dramatically for recovery discounted by the stock market by spring 2003 and our housing bubble for the ages.... Yet if you look at inflationary pressures and real interest rates in recently versus the first few years in this decade we are in a completely different universe.
