Incorrect, interest rates (prime rate) were a full 3 percentage points higher than they currently are during one the best periods of GDP growth in U. S. history (late ‘80’s).

You’re incorrect because you’re not using the current yield curve to determine market rates.

A “yield curve” is just a line on a chart...perhaps you referring to the current inverted yield curve? If so that supports my position as bond investors are anticipating increasing inflation.
