The issuance of short-term zero-coupon bonds in the United States is approaching historical highs, proving that the U.S. debt crisis is worsening.
Over the past year, the U.S. Treasury issued a record $25.4 trillion in T-Bills, bringing the total issuance to $36.6 trillion, with T-Bills accounting for 69.4%. The government is financing long-term debt through short-term debt, causing interest expenses to move in sync with the Federal Reserve's policy rate, which could exacerbate the U.S. debt crisis.
