Hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones told CNBC that government spending could cause a major sell-off in the bond market.

Paul Tudor Jones: We are going to be broke really quickly unless we get serious about our spendingBillionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones is raising alarms about the U.S. government's current fiscal deficit and the increased spending promised by both presidential candidates, saying the bond market may force the government's hand after the election in addressing it.

"We're going to be broke really quickly unless we get serious about dealing with our spending issues," Jones told CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin on Tuesday. The founder and chief investment officer of Tudor Investment said he was worried that the government spending could cause a big sell-off in the bond market, spiking interest rates. He said he plans to not own fixed income and will be betting the longer-dated part of the bond market.

"The question is is after this election will we have a Minsky moment here in the United States and U.S. debt markets?" Jones said, referring to shorthand for a dramatic decline in asset prices. "Will we have a Minsky moment where all of a sudden there's a point of recognition that what they're talking about is fiscally impossible, financially impossible," he continued.
