Former Treasury Secretary Calls for Scrapping 20-Year Bond Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has called for the discontinuation of the 20-year Treasury bond, which he reintroduced in 2020, citing its higher yields and additional costs to taxpayers. The bond’s reintroduction has resulted in approximately $2 billion in extra annual interest expenses, totaling around $40 billion over its lifespan. Despite the Biden administration’s preference for maintaining the bond to ensure stability, Mnuchin argues that the bond has not met expectations and is financially burdensome. The debate over the bond highlights the complexities of managing the U.S. government’s growing deficit. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Inflation Data Fuels Gold Rally Amid September Rate Cut Hopes READ MORE Powell Signals Fed's Pivot: Job Market Concerns May Prompt Rate Cuts READ MORE Weak U.S. Jobs Report Boosts Gold Prices As Many Speculate About Fed Rate Cuts READ MORE Turkish Investors Flock to Dollars and Gold Amid Lira's Decline READ MORE India's Central Bank Makes Largest Gold Purchase in Two Years, Boosting Reserves READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
