fortunately the interest rate is zero ... perfect time for Treasury to be borrowing money ... they probably ought to look at the possibility of refinancing the rest of the national debt right now if that’s possible ...

there’s never a good time to be a borrowing 3 trillion dollars and never a good time to owe 30 trillion. They’ll never be paying 0% interest the best they will pay is two or three and do you have any idea how much that is on almost 30 trillion dollars?

Treasuries are sold at auctions and that’s where the interest rate is set. So the interest rate that they’re sold at will depend on the demand. I doubt very much it will be near zero.
