That would result in not only interest rates rising on the sale of U.S. bonds but also higher interest rates to be paid on our existing national debt - a sizeable portion of the federal budget 

The Fed is considering raising the interest rates in Sept because of inflation. That would be a major mistake that would increases the payment on the national debt, crash gold and silver, and drive the price of bonds down while driving the yield up. It would be a perfect storm for the stock market.
