Government Bonds

Although this would be a good time to do it with interest rates being low,
it would also send a signal that the Fed is tightening the money supply.
This would affect the economy at a delicate time in ways that are not
desirable. Here's some numbers for you:

Right now there is:

$5 Trillon in Money Market accounts.
$8 Trillion in CD's.

What about moving a small fraction of that cash into these efforts? It's
there, but we have to make space investments look like a better place for
that money, or it will go somewhere else.

Remember, one trillion is 1,000 billion... So it's quite clear that money
supply is not an issue...
