Tax hikes

The Flood of Long-End Treasuries May Just Be Getting Started

It is a double whammy.  Bonds beyond 20 years are 1.2% plus in costs, plus the Fed needs to collect more seigniorage taxes to cover.  It defeats the whole purpose of stimulus.  

We are likely still in slightly negative growth, if not worse. So these extra interest costs will compound for continually until the default.
