RQ TED Spread Credit Crunch

a question about measuring the severity of the current credit crunch.

One standard measure is something called the TED SPREAD
which measures the difference in interest on 3 month US Treasuries
and 3 month contracts on Eurodollars as represented by LIBOR.

The TED Spread has gone from 1.3% a year ago to 3.8% today.
