Another $2.2bn In Debt This Week

5 May

Yesterday, the AOFM auctioned another $600 million in Treasury Bonds. Lumping the taxpayer with a (weighted-average) interest-burden of 5.35%.

Today, the AOFM will auction another $1 Billion in Treasury Notes.

Tomorrow, the AOFM will auction another $600 million in Treasury Bonds.

How much will this week’s national credit card binge add to last year’s “Estimates” and “Projections” of Interest-on-debt?

MYEFO 2010-11, Appendix B, Note 10: Interest Expense

According to their own “Estimate” just for this year 2010-11, we’re paying $1,201,712 per hour in Interest-on-debt.

UPDATE:

Today’s $1 Billion Treasury Notes auction completed.

Slug to taxpayers? 4.73% interest rate (weighted average yield).
