The spike comes despite promises to rein in borrowing, as government spending—especially on defense—continues to climb alongside tax policies that have yet to close the gap.
Officials warn that rising debt could translate into higher borrowing costs, weaker wage growth, and more expensive everyday goods and services.
Rising U.S. debt tends to push yields up and long-term bond prices down.
TMV (inverse 3×) → benefits from rising yields/falling bond prices.
TMF (bull 3×) → suffers when yields rise/falling bond prices.
These ETFs are highly leveraged, so the effects can be dramatic over short periods.
Michael Peterson cautioned, “We must recognize this alarming rate of growth and the financial burden on the next generation.”
The pace is accelerating: debt jumped from $37 trillion to $39 trillion in just months, and is on track to hit $40 trillion soon, with the Iran conflict alone estimated to have cost over $12 billion.
