".. Treasury's current average interest rate paid on the debt is 3.49% (already up 13bp from FY25), and CBO's fiscal outlook assumes that will rise toward a terminal rate of just 3.9% by 2036. But .. most of the curve is *way* above that level."

WOLFE: “.. the potential for a vicious cycle between deficits and yields is getting increasingly concerning. .. rising yields create a quite imminent risk of negative feedback loops with the deficit, because the risks on interest expense are skewed sharply to the upside ..”

So fuc*ing infuriating and sad. The CDC used to be the crown jewel of the world's scientific firmament. Other countries came to us for help fighting deadly diseases. Its disease detectives learned what caused illness and helped change practices to prevent them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

My real move is to bring an iced coffee and set it on the table exactly halfway between us, so they spend the whole interview wondering whether I brought it for them or for myself, and if they’re being horribly rude by not drinking it or about to embarrass themselves by drinking my drink.

I wrote about who is actually making America “poorer and dirtier.” It’s not immigrants. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Who is responsible for this terrible state of affairs? The opposition party and immigrants, apparently. Vance went on to say, “The Democrat legacy of the last few years was that they bankrupted our country and left us poor. They left our country weaker. They left our border wide open and our communities less safe.”

But this account represents a preposterous inversion. Almost every problem Vance lists, the Trump administration has made worse.

The administration’s environmental policies have made American water and air dirtier. Its health-care, tariff, and tax policies have worsened inflation and increased the financial burden on most American households, even as incomes have grown. And its public-health policies have led to outbreaks of contagious disease.
