Although governments may try to cram public debt down the throats of local savers (by using, for example, their rising influence over banks to force them to hold a disproportionate quantity of government paper), they will eventually find themselves having to pay much higher interest rates as well. Within a couple years, interest rates on long-term US Treasury notes could easily rise 3-4%, with interest rates on other governments’ paper rising as much, or more.
虽然政府可以将债务转嫁到本国储户的头上（例如，政府利用自身的影响力来迫使银行持有大量的国债。），但他们最终也会发现，为此会支付利息也是可观的。在接下来的几年中，美国政府长期债券的利率很快就会升到3-4%，其他国家还会更高。
