Treasury announced that it’s tweaking its TIPs program so investors can get inflation protection for 30 years rather than 20 years. It will certainly make break-even calculations much easier since the government doesn’t sell regular run-of-the-mill Treasurys with 20-year maturities.

The first batch of 30-year TIPS will be sold in February, while the 20-year variety will be discontinued immediately.
