In the U.S., a one percentage-point boost in rates would increase U.S. government interest costs by around $180 billion from its present level of around $400 billion. That's a 45% increase in debt service and rates would still be at historic lows. Unless offset by increased economic activity, this would significantly increase both the budget deficit and government debt levels. https://t.co/J92RPbi1eJ #ZIRP
