35 Years Later ... From Simon & Garfunkel to Bieber Fever and All-Time Lows For Treasury Yields

Takeaway: What a long, strange trip it's been.

September 30, 1981...

Treasury yields peaked at 15.84% ... Ronald Reagan was in the early innings of his 1st term ... Simon & Garfunkel performed in Central Park for 500,000 people ... Home Depot had its IPO eight days earlier ... and the U.S. debt ceiling was raised to one trillion dollars for the first time.

35 years later ... we're saddled with over $19,000,000,000,000 in debt, Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump, NIRP, Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber.
