Today’s Chart of the Day is from Avantis Investors and shows the weighted percentage of bonds issued by various sectors of the market. You’ll notice that the US government (Treasuries and T-Bills) now issues 50% of all bonds in the US.

If you include the 30% Agency Mortgages, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (which are both backed by the US government) many analysts would contend that this brings the total to 70% of all bonds.

Add in current and projected budget deficit spending and the total government issue will continue to grow while other sectors dwindle.
