Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff

According to Jeff Gundlach, Scott Bessent discussed extending maturities and lowering coupons on Treasuries held abroad. This is tantamount to a default. The fact that a sitting U.S. Treasury Secretary is speaking publicly about default should cause foreigners to dump Treasuries.

Dennis Consorte @dennisconsorte

It's almost as if the Trump Administration wants allies and adversaries to dump our bonds. It's almost as if they purposefully are lowering the standing of the US in all areas of the world stage economically, militarily and culturally. Make America Broke Again!

HEODORE WELTON @DIEZELCHRIST

Bessent’s talk of extending maturities and lowering coupons on foreign- held Treasuries—22% of U.S. debt, or $8T—is alarming, especially with Trump’s defense spending hikes echoing Italy’s 1930s playbook (GraphFinancials). It’s not a default yet, but the perception alone could tank the S&P 500 by 17% and slash $2.4T in household wealth, per a 2013 AAF report. Foreigners might dump Treasuries, weakening the dollar (already at 48.2% of reserves, Atlantic Council 2024), but Bessent’s earlier caution in Feb 2025 suggests this may be posturing, not policy— still a risky signal.

Erick @Erickschultz11

We should front-run the crisis: the Fed should begin a controlled buyback of maturing bonds now and gradually monetize the debt over 20 years. It is better to inflate intentionally under controlled terms than be forced into it under panic. Delay guarantees disorder. Proactive monetization paired with fiscal reform is the only off-ramp from the debt death spiral we already are in.
