It IS amazing - the degree to which our political classes have become irresponsible. They feed the public the BS that infinite increases in public debt are OK. To be worried about any consequences is "irresponsible" and "terrorism". lol. No way to know, really, but my sense is that 5 years may be on the optimistic side. We ARE in a danger zone; we live there. If bond holders will use the bounce to resume their unloading, the decline could accelerate. IMO, if the Fed will step in too aggressively and increase purchases, that may scare people. Same thing may happen if the Fed doesn't step in (but it will). Another potential trigger is the stock market. Markets always used to have bear markets and crashes - AND always will, Fed or no Fed. Everything - bond prices, debt, markets, RE etc - have been manipulated and stimulated up to the level when they price in perfection. Thanks to the pols - and their economists, who tell them what they want to hear.
