Why the era of cheap government debt is over

The era of cheap government debt is coming to an end, as the US debt has surpassed $40 trillion. This significant milestone marks a turning point in the country's fiscal landscape, where the growing debt burden is starting to raise concerns among investors. The increasing debt load makes it more challenging for the government to service its obligations, which in turn may lead to higher borrowing costs and reduced investor confidence.

Why it matters

The growing US debt burden raises concerns about the country's ability to pay its debts. This could lead to higher interest rates and decreased investor confidence in US debt, making it more expensive for the government to borrow money.
