The interest rate on t-bills has risen dramatically. So if a ten year t bill is expiring. The new rate is now much higher then it was last month. A huge chunk of the us debt is short term so as they roll over in the next six months the interest charged on the debt will be going up.

The reason we can survive with the current debt level is because rates are so low. Or were.
