We owe over $ 19T. We owe more than our GDP. You can't EVER raise interest rates again, as that would just put us to the point where we couldn't even make the interest payments on the debt and we'd have to admit we failed, just like Iceland and Greece. This point will hit us soon enough, raising interest rates would just speed up the inevitable.
