"Part of the problem is too much money is going into Treasuries where the yields have improved considerably over the past few months."

Which is what happens when the dollar declines. Same thing happened during the '70s. That was the tip of the iceberg. As time goes on, the US bonds start to crowd out all of the other bonds as they keep hiking the rates to cover the deficit. And that means business can't finance improvements and productivity drops.
