greatly. First, the US govt crowds out other borrowers. Second, the Federal Reserve prints money and monetizes the debt to facilitate the profligate deficit spending; this causes inflation that is a stealth and destructive tax on working middle class people (especially those with fixed or static incomes).
If the Federal Reserve would stop forcing down the interest rates, interest rates would explode and then the federal govt's biggest line item would be debt service. And that would lead to the federal govt having no choice but to tax working middle class people to pay off its rich banking and sovereign fund creditors.
So, yeah, it matters. And yeah, it needs to be repudiated immediately.
