Along the top we see the years represented.
We're going to go from before the crisis until after,
from 2005 to after the worst was over in 2010.
The outstanding amounts, first, of short-term treasury
securities in the United States and short-term agency securities.
Again, the agencies are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,
the large government-sponsored enterprises in the United States.
The total amount of short-term debt that was available, and
these are treasury bills, or treasury securities,
treasury bonds that have a remaining maturity of one year or less.
So everything here that is going to, in the next year,
mature, we're going to define those as short-term.
We see that the total amount outstanding in 2005 and
2006 was just 1.7 trillion and 1.6 trillion.
And I say just relative to the sizes that we've seen
in the previous lessons of just how much demand was out there.
