Worrying about the fisc is uncool, but the alternatives may prove worse. The post The Coming Age of Austerity appeared first on The American Conservative .

Economy Economy The Coming Age of Austerity Worrying about the fisc is uncool, but the alternatives may prove worse. When the author was young, lo! these many slipping years ago, one of the faddish ways people with degrees would complain about the world was to talk about “austerity,” a dirty word in the same vein as “neoliberalism” and a few other choice terms that were soon replaced by the new vocabulary of griping furnished by the then-cutting edge identity politics.

What does the author predict will happen to federal spending priorities as interest payments continue to rise?

How did the author characterize the political response to the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent era of low interest rates?
After the 2008 financial crisis, there was a period of low interest rates that provided latitude for aggressive government spending.

Why are bond markets reacting negatively to the current fiscal situation in the United States?
Bond markets have been volatile because the Trump administration's ambitious programs need to be paid for, leading to tightened credit. This tightening of credit occurs independently of the Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rate hikes and creates a situation where declining growth reduces revenue while the cost of servicing debt increases.
