Episode notes
Bond Market Signals Fiscal Trouble
- Rising interest rates significantly increase the US government's interest payments, worsening the debt problem.
- Weak demand for Treasury bonds signals market concerns about high deficits and unsustainable debt levels.

- The recent big, permanent tax cut bill worsens the national debt rather than controlling spending.
- This bill contradicts the public's desire for fiscal austerity and risks inflation and higher borrowing costs.

- The political reality limits immediate spending cuts, making this bill a pragmatic though imperfect choice.
