Pou anviwon 50 ans, trezorye Etazini 10 zan pa janm komèsyal pi ba pase yon rendement de pousan. Pase Jedi maten an, rendement de ki pi popilè kosyon gouvènman an nan mond lan te fwape 1.99 pousan pou la pwemye fwa nan plis pase 50 ans. Men mwatye yon syèk de sa, Etazini te yon peyi trè diferan pase jòdi a. Li te genyen gè MONDYAL. Fabrication Et peye nan peyi Etazini te en. Se te yon nasyon créancier (peyi yo prete lajan nan men nou.). Gen senkant lane plita, nan Amerik se pi gwo nasyon débiteur nan mond lan. Yon lòt ankò: nou fè fas a yon kriz dèt. Men envèstisè yo toujou mache pou nou obligations. Poukisa?

For about 50 years, the 10-year U.S. Treasury never traded below a yield of two percent. This past Thursday morning, the yield of the world's most popular government bond hit 1.99 per cent for the first time in more than 50 years. But half a century ago, the U.S. was a very different country than it is today. It had won World War II. Manufacturing and housing in the U.S. was booming. It was a creditor nation (countries borrowed money from us.). Fifty years later, America is the world's biggest debtor nation. Some say we face a debt crisis. But investors still run to our bonds.
