Of $1 trillion (and rising) going to interest payments annually
This is equivalent to 1/4 of all tax revenue and 1/6 of all federal spending
All going to interest

She had the oppurtunity to issue longer-term debt in 2020 but opted to roll over in to short term.....now US Gov is being hammered by rising interest rates.

If you didn't see the other day they were doing a bond auction and demand was nearly non-existent. Nobody wants government bonds anymore so the fed will need to print money to buy them soon. We going full Japan.

Over 1/2 of all spending goes to gibs. 3/4 remaining to spend means 2/4 goes to gibs, 1/4 goes to military spending, and 0 to anything else. Which is what will happen, because as soon as gibs get cut people start rioting, and military isn’t getting cut either with 2 wars going on.

Yes and the silence of politicians makes it all the more obvious.
Imagine you were dependent on her for your budgets and all your budgets were being eaten by high interest rate bonds due to her fault....she could've easily issued 10yr bonds at 1.5% instead of 250% increase of now....

I have read other countries borrow from the US, so if it is other countries that are lending to the US, then isn't USA giving interest money to countries who will return that money to the US as interest payment?

which is why it could default and the only ones who'd be impacted severely is the rest of the world. the system is set up like this intentionally which is why the rest of the world is scrambling to find something like brics that could support a post US collapse/default

you must accept that the IMF is an extension of the 12 banks that run the Fed.

through this hydra the rest of the world's industry/medical/financial markets are subsidized by the us. if the us ever deigned it necessary they would reign in their fleets and leave the world to it's vices. one of the first things you'd see is a rampant increase in piracy in this scenario. you'd also see european markets hyperinflate while us figures out whatever new financial system they'd operate. what europeans should be concerned about is that their bread basin is mined/bombed to hell and the arabian world is in turmoil.

while a collapse is certainly due soon, it is not designed for us to be holding the bag. the 'rest of the world' will have to join our new financial system at a premium, as it always has been, and we will extort whatever we need from their dried up carcass.

That scenario is probably not going to be allowed to happen unless some kind of people's champion rises up and wrecks the whole system on purpose.
Nations can just continue inflating currencies such that their power players can pay debts to each other while telling their citizens to eat shit.

these things happen at a snails pace. right now the powers behind the scenes are trying to source up some logical explanation for decades of frivolous spending to disappear at the inexplicable flip of a switch that would satisfy foreigners. best we can do is war economy. it'd take someone with an actual spine to pull this kind of thing off so you'll see it in the next presidency. early.

Imagine all the boomers who put their retirement money into T-bills.

Also the US deficit is depend on the demand and use of USD in global trade. In the past as globalisation expanded so did demand for USD investments. It's like what Tether did in relation to crypto currency. They issued billions upon billions of USDT but it was all good since the crypto universe expanded and there was general demand for a stable asset.

The US will drive into problems once USD is looked out of parts of world trade and there won't be anybody that they can dump their debt on.

the US government borrows money from the public, not "itself", when interest rates go up bonds are worth less therefore new ones need higher interest to entice buyers

its a nice way of circumventing the politicaly unpopular deficit spending. Make a shit tonne of money selling bonds and add the little extra interest payments to the budget. Voila you're being fiscally responsible by not creating surplus spending!

Because she did her job excellently.

Who do you think is buying UST's at +5%?
China and Japan already sold their near 0% bonds at heavy losses AFTER the 2020-2022 inflation (fucking chumps)
BoA and other big banks are "holding til maturity" their near 0% bonds.

Let me give you hint. It's the same folks who borrowed at near 0% in the pandemic.
