I have written about this before, and the elephant in the room is STILL the amount of debt the federal government is taking on AND the pace. See below for a graph showing this trend. There will be a time to pay the penalty for this excess…but no one is talking about it now.

The Federal Reserve has stated they intend to keep rates low for a while. Read more on this in The Wall Street Journal article here.

It’s time to take advantage of low rates and lock your debt in for as long as you can.  Here is a great article on what the US debt means for Commercial Real Estate.

This is a long term critical issue that keeps compounding (sometimes I am funny :).

Call me if you want to discuss this.

I agree Craig. With interest rates where they are, the federal govt. can't afford to have them increase to much. Debt service would then take too much of a bite of federal budget. The federal govt. will need to inflate their way out of this eventually.

Unfortunately the new version of the Republican party completely ignores this critical issue.
