I know nothing about economics, but I can predict that the U.S. economy will swirl the bowl once the Dems take over. Trust me on this. :)

I do. You've nailed the reason bond traders have less confidence in the economy. It's a very smart and good bet on their part. The economy will only get worse...hopefully not a lot, but certainly no better with Dems in control of 2 branches. Duh.

No, the reason you can predict the US economy is because you know nothing about it.  The rest of us have to keep our eyes open.
