Rising yields push US interest bill toward $1 trillion
Original: Rising yields add to $1T taxpayer interest bill
Rising Treasury yields are driving up the cost of servicing US federal debt, with interest payments on course to top $1 trillion, a burden ultimately borne by taxpayers. Commentators warn that higher borrowing costs are crowding out other spending and adding to fiscal pressure as deficits remain elevated and Washington shows little appetite for restraint.
Why now: Investors and taxpayers are alarmed by the fast-growing cost of servicing US government debt as yields climb.
