Bob Murphy joins Darryl Cooper & Scott Horton to discuss the U.S. debt situation, rising interest rates, and the Treasury’s reliance on shorter-term borrowing. They also talk about the dollar’s role as a reserve currency, Japan’s rising rates, and how these shifts could affect demand for Treasuries.
