Is there a government bond bubble?

Here is a symposium over at The Economist:

It is better labeled a bubble in government spending (Viral Acharya)
No, there is a shortage of safe assets (Ricardo Caballero)
Bond yields are probably appropriately low (Stephen King)
Probably not, but approach low-probability risks carefully (Tyler Cowen)
Yes, and it's huge (Laurence Kotlikoff)
It's possible, but there is not enough evidence to be sure (Paul Seabright)
No, growth and deflation concerns have grown sharply (John Makin)
Current adjustments will reduce the risk of a repricing shock (Harold James)
