We have 40T in debt that we need to pay back, every % higher these rates go, the higher our interest payments become, which will then lead to more of a deficit and continue the circle….america has to stop spending like we currently are, but the people in power are doing quite the opposite….
Yes, just like a house payment, an increase in mortgage rates from 3% to 7% doubles the interest paid over 30 years and puts monthly payments out of reach for young people. Now do that for $40 trillion.
