Rates continue to rise despite a rate pause due to record levels of Treasury Bonds

10-year note yield rises as high as 4.37%, the highest since 2007.
Rates continue to rise despite a Fed rate pause expected.
Why?
The US is issuing record levels of Treasury Bonds to fund deficit spending.
There is so much supply that it is driving bond prices lower and treasury yields higher.
Between this quarter and the next, $1.9 trillion in US Treasury bonds will be issued.
We are paying for deficit spending in many ways.
Higher interest rates is one of them.

Naw Jack. The economy is doing just fine - Joe Biden.
That 2019 low, though. Hmmmm....
Folks are dependent on credit cards just to get by. This debt will not get paid back because things will not change. It's a dam waiting to break.

Interest on the debt will soon be the biggest spending item, ahead of defense and entitlements. This is a freaking house of cards.

I wish they were 10%

Interest on the debt
If you could pay the interest and not raise the debt one cent with the numbers we have today it would take 50 years to pay off the current national debt we created. That is not spending one more dime to pay it off with interest. We all know this is not going to happen. I do not get why the other side voters cannot see this. They have to be very wealthy and don't give a shite because they have plenty of wealth, or they are too stupid to see what is coming.
Blue collar, middle class are the ones getting fricked.

Not even a full year, just over the course of a couple of quarters.

We’re in that intensifying negative spiral now. Only a matter of time, a few years tops, before it all crashes.
This is why we’ve had such a hard push for population surveillance over the last few years. People are about to be really unhappy with their government.

You have to play their long game... buy tangible assets with inflationary dollars today so you have something real to show for it tomorrow when the dollar is worthless.

It's the latter. They think what's coming could never happen here because... reasons; and/or that it will happen to others but not them.

It's going to hurt more than just the blue-collar families. The kind of calamity that looks to be coming from this could frick just about everyone.

And use surveillance and military might to hold on to those assets.
Because, if not, history shows the people will just take them back.

A lot of people will tell you this doesn’t matter.

There are some very learned people on this forum wth 6 years or more of university studies in banking and finance who have defended the Federal Reserve racket with every bit of the heart and soul, it's almost like they're totally invested in the scam.

Closing in on $1 trillion/annually to service the $33 trillion of US debt.

If only history could have given us an indication of what's in store for us from an incompetent administration and runaway inflation. Oh that's right, the Carter years told us this would happen with rates, yields, mortgages etc. Wait till we get to Carter level stagflation, then the real clown party begins.

10 year note is low by historical standards and extremely low compared with the short term rates.

These same people have their head up their asses when trying to reconcile why grocery prices are tripling.

It’s truly terrifying g what 10-15% treasuries look like for our federal spending. We’ll be spending more on debt service than medicare.!
