25/ The Fed's Treasury purchases are now showing up in its balance sheet, which has started expanding again in recent months.
More importantly, the Fed projects its balance sheet will expand even faster and continue growing through at least 2033.

24/ Hypothetically, a 1% rise in long-term rates could pull this crossover forward to late 2027 or early 2028.
That's only 12–18 months away from now, which helps explain why the US Treasury is already preparing.
The Fed has already started buying short term US government bonds

23/ Now the US nominal GDP growth is currently at 5.2%, but the demographic trends could slow it to 3.8% by 2030.
At that point, economic growth would match the average interest rate of 3.8% the government pays on its debt.
But these projections assume long-term interest rates

22/ Now a real problem occurs when the average interest rate on government debt exceeds economic growth.
This is essentially the moment when a government's budget is completely squeezed.
This is known as the R-G rule, and when it turns -ve, the debt-to-GDP ratio can rise https:

21/ This is something the "grow our way out” argument may not fully account for.
But the bond vigilantes recognize the same problem very well, and are effectively demanding higher compensation for holding US debt.
Policymakers like Trump and Scott Bessant will eventually have h

20/ Now, the US birth rate shifted forward 15 years has accurately predicted labor force participation for the past 20 years.
The relationship is simple, when less babies are born, it means that less people are going to be working 15 years later.
Based on this relationship, the

19/ When labor force participation falls, fewer people are working which reduces the taxable income and overall economic output.
At the same time more people may rely on government programs, increasing spending.
The government therefore has to borrow more as the economy slows.

But the data suggests that path is becoming increasingly difficult for the US.
Because of the labor force participation rate, the share of working-age Americans employed or actively h

17/ Policymakers today suggest that if the economy grows fast enough to outpace government spending, the US debt can become manageable.
President Trump himself has mentioned he believes that this is the best solution here.
And US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant emphasized this

16/ But all of this money printing by the Fed came at a devastating cost for ordinary Americans.
It caused inflation to jump from around 10% in 1941 all the way to 20% by 1947.
The purchasing power of Americans' savings was effectively cut in ½ during that period.
Today, US ht

15/ Back then allowing bond yields to rise freely would have placed enormous pressure on the government's budget.
So in April 1942, the Fed promised to buy unlimited amounts of US government bonds to keep yields below specific levels.
Short-term rates were locked at 0.375%, and

13/ In 1977, through the Federal Reserve Reform Act, the Fed was given a 3rd mandate by the US government.
This mandate is to moderate long-term interest rates.
That means when long-term rates rise enough to threaten government stability, the Fed has the authority to intervene.

12/ Now the Treasury department is already attempting to intervene in the bond market to counter rising yields.
So far, those interventions haven't been successful, but their size and frequency could increase as the government tries to regain control.

11/ If bond vigilantes continue pushing long-term interest rates higher, the government's interest burden will keep rising.
That could put enormous pressure on the US budget, especially if interest payments eventually approach 50% of government spending.
At that point, there ht

10/ We're seeing the consequences of this already beginning to show up.
Today, the US government spends a record 20% of its tax revenue paying interest on its debt.
In 2020, that figure was only 11%.
The last time debt-service costs reached similar levels was in the late 1970s

9/ The term premium is the extra compensation investors demand for lending to the government for the long-term.
This is the compensation for risks like inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, and the potential for fiscal recklessness.
Now the Fed has largely kept short-term rates

7/ Now this debt ceiling has been raised repeatedly because the US government cannot abruptly stop spending.
That means the supposed legal limit has little credibility and has almost no influence over actual spending.
Despite rapidly approaching the ceiling, President Trump has

8/ Scott Besant, the US Treasury Secretary himself said that the US has a spending problem.
And this is exactly what the bond vigilantes are concerned about today.

6/ Now on paper, the US government has a limit on how much debt it can actually borrow, called the debt ceiling.
This is essentially the legal limit on how much the US government is allowed to borrow.
And currently it sits at $41.1 trillion, slightly above where we are today. h

5/ The bond vigilantes control very large amounts of government debt.
As a result they have significant influence over how much the US government pays to borrow.
Now, the problem today is that the US government's debt load is surging rapidly, having just crossed $40 trillion. h

2/ The US government recently borrowed money for 10 years at its highest rate since 2007.
Their 30-year borrowing rate also exceeded 5%, the highest level since 2001.
When long-term borrowing costs rise it puts enormous pressure on the government's finances.

The US government once took 2 years to add $1 trillion in debt.
Today, that same $1 trillion is added in just 10 weeks.
America's debt problem is getting out of control.

- Dollar collapses because of excessive spending by US Government
- China anchors Yuan to physical gold
That could allow China to reshape the global monetary system without going to war with the US.
