<<Treasuries yields are crashing again>> They were also low after 1929, but then the U.S. government was almost debt free, and the U.S. was a creditor nation. Other countries' government bonds yielded much more in that period, or were defaulting. There's at least $1T of new Treasuries up for sale next year. A big chunk of that has to be long term paper, or short rates spike, effectively killing recent efforts to salvage what's left of the economy (and a spike on long rates puts the mortgage market in a bind). Nice dilemma for Obama, Geithner, etc.
