updates: The U.S. spent over $1 trillion every three months on interest payments on the public debt

Version 0.16 (2024-05-29 16:54:16.440000)

updates: The US is facing a sharp rise in debt costs, with the interest on the debt potentially rivaling the total cost of Social Security. The combination of the unending rise in debt and the rollover effect on existing debt is increasing the cost of the federal government's debt. The total interest payments on the debt for the 2024 fiscal year are estimated to be $1.05-1.1 trillion, and this could reach $1.4 trillion by next summer. The rollover effect on the debt cost is rarely discussed but is a significant factor. The U.S. government is struggling with the combination of these two effects, which is causing the debt cost to increase. Examples of the rollover effect increasing the debt cost include the auction for 5-year notes on May 28th, where the debt cost increased by almost 259%, and the auction for 2-year debt on May 28th, where the debt cost more than doubled. The debt cost for 3-year Treasury notes and 7-year Treasury notes is also expected to increase significantly. The U.S. government is likely to increase its debt by at least $100-150 billion per month. The U.S. government has seen its debt cost rise in the past year, and this trend is expected to continue.
