TBAC Discussed Super-Long (50-year) Maturity Issue

Other snippets:

The average maturity of the debt has already fallen from a range of 60 to 70 months which existed from the mid 1980’s until 2002 to a level of 48 months more recently.

The net supply of Treasurys in 2009 and 2010 combined seems likely to total more than $3 trillion and could climb as high as $4 trillion.

Treasury explicitly lowered the minimum denomination on marketable Treasuries to $100 from $1000 to broaden the scope of potential investors, but also noted that savings bonds investments have declined for the past 20 consecutive quarters.
