Hot off the pt\ress. EPJ's Bob English takes a look at the latest minutes of the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee meeting where primary dealers advise various members of the Treasury on what type Treasury products might sell, given the Treasury's desperate attempt to figure out ways to raise even more money, as the deficit continues to soar.

Not surprisingly, English discovers:

However, this estimate has now exploded and has Treasury salivating.
