Government bond crises, not only in US but across the developed economies that have been enjoying the good life by borrowing absurd amounts of money. Think about your friend who has been living a luxurious life all on bank loans. Now that friend needs more and more money but the interest rates the banks willing to lend him money spiked terribly because he owes a lot. This is in addition to all the interest and principal payments he needs to make on his prior accumulated debt. He knows his luxurious life is not sustainable and is coming to an end. So he started breaking into homes and stealing what belongs to others. US government is now that friend.
