“While the initial increases in financing related to the COVID-19 outbreak response were focused on Treasury bills, Treasury expects to begin to shift financing from bills to longer-dated tenors over the coming quarters,” Brian Smith, Treasury’s assistant secretary for federal finance, said in a statement.

In the statement, Treasury said it intends to increase auction sizes across all nominal coupon tenors over the May-to-July period, with the increases larger in the 7-year, 10-year, 20-year and 30-year categories. The largest increase will be on the 10-year note. Congress has appropriated nearly $3 trillion in recent weeks as it seeks to stem the economic harm on businesses and households from widespread business shutdowns implemented to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

Trump: “I’m the king of debt. I’m great with debt. Nobody knows debt better than me,” “I’ve made a fortune by using debt, and if things don’t work out I renegotiate the debt. I mean, that’s a smart thing, not a stupid thing.” ... any other questions? ;)

America still haven’t paid the 1 trillion dollars you owe to China. Meanwhile the U.S. war machine cost taxpayers almost a trillion every year, which goes into the pocket of neoliberal/neoconservative corporatists/war mongers. Big army, but no healthcare for the poorest Americans
