Jiang says America is running out of time because falling Treasury demand raises interest costs on a debt load he describes as roughly $39 trillion, making lower rates and renewed foreign Treasury buying urgent.
Jiang argues that more dollar creation and debt growth eventually convince the world the United States cannot really repay what it owes, which then reduces Treasury demand and forces interest rates higher to attract buyers.
He argues the U.S. debt regime is unstable because 5% interest on roughly $39 trillion debt creates large annual transfer obligations.
Interest rates are not primarily consumer guidance in Jiang’s model; they coordinate whether banks should release or withhold liquidity.
He describes financial repression as a strategy of pushing interest rates toward zero while simultaneously forcing investors into Treasuries so the state can keep servicing its debt burden.
