I am not sure why so many take it as a partisan observation. There was a time when a total debt of $1 trillion was controversial in politics and economics.

Lowering the rate also determines how much it costs to sustain the debt spending. So my comment was related in an economic sense.

I also prefer to have sustainable Government institutions and social programs which increasing debt will eventually threaten.

Maybe the system can sustain $50 trillion with $2 trillion added every month. We will find out eventually with the current path.

It already costs more to service existing debt than even defense spending.
