So we saw the 10-year go up, which means student loans, mortgages, everything, companies' ability to borrow money to pay for additional factories.

I don't think that there's going to be a failed treasury auction for a while. But effectively what this is, is people under the age of, call it 40, have to borrow an additional $5 trillion to pay for tax cuts for the old and the wealthy.
