What would the effect be of rolling over 30 years bonds at 12 or 13% at the current debt level?
Our government goes t*ts up. We'd be paying more for interest on the debt than we do for Social security or defense at that point. It would be a largest government expense. So either the government would have to increase tax revenue by 30-40% across the board, or we'd have to cancel Social Security...

Is it safe to say that such a strategy is not possible today
Absolutely not possible. We have too much debt.
