Hi Alea......
Yes rates are so low now it looks like a great deal,
& if the government paid off the principal & interest on
that debt by the time it matured,it would still be a
great deal............Alas Governments only pay back
interest & no principal....so the debt will be rolled over
at a higher interest rate........which is why All Governments
are bankrupt & some are still paying off loans taken
400 years back!!.............
It's a system designed to enslave nations,or i should
say it's citizens with permanent debt.....
