I Agree With The President
No, really:
President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending âunsustainable,â warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.
âWe canât keep on just borrowing from China,â Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. âWe have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our childrenâs future with more and more debt.â
Holders of U.S. debt will eventually âget tiredâ of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. âIt will have a dampening effect on our economy.â

He doesn't seem to be acting as if he believes it, though.
