As the Peterson Institute noted: In June, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that annual net interest costs would total $663 billion in 2023 and almost double over the upcoming decade, soaring from $745 billion in 2024 to $1.4 Note that this is not hindsight bias , but rather discussions we had repeatedly here in the mid-2010s.
One, it doesn’t have a budget allocation from Congress. They’re a budget, they’re a check writing organization. BRYANT: So money, unlike math, money is highly emotional. I mean, there’s 50,000 kids in the Atlanta public school system, so you can do the math there. RITHOLTZ: Right. RITHOLTZ: Yes.
And what’s their budget like a fraction of it, right? RITHOLTZ: So hold the duration risk aside with those two, but just for an investor in treasuries, I know you’ve done the math before. And I had written that first book about hedge funds, which led me- RITHOLTZ: In 2016, right? SEIDES: In 2016.

RITHOLTZ: So wait, you’re, I’m trying to do the math, if you were 24 in ‘08, so you got this watch in 2000, 99? I’m giving you a budget. FOWLER: I want to say it only went for 35 or 40 thousand Swiss francs so it’s definitely within the budget you’ve just given us. That came out in 2016.
You’re doing a lot of math in your head on the Fly. I’m doing, I’m doing an awful lot of math in my head on the fly. There’s ways around that during reconciliation for budget bills and things like that. And to me, I felt this was a huge opportunity and there was an opportunity to fix this.
