The U.S. debt keeps climbing past $36 trillion | What happens if investors lose faith?

U.S. debt has surged past $36 trillion—so what happens if investors start demanding a higher premium to hold Treasuries, and auctions turn into the market’s truth serum?​
This video breaks down how a confidence shock can push yields higher, drive up net interest costs, pressure the dollar, and spill into mortgages, corporate credit, and global risk assets.​

What you’ll learn:​

The mechanics of auction stress: tails, bid‑to‑cover, and rising term premia—plus why rollover risk matters more than headlines.​

How record net interest outlays crowd out policy choices and raise sensitivity to even small rate moves.​

The dollar and foreign demand: why small shifts by overseas buyers can change funding costs at the margin.​
