簡單分析一下美國的還利息前景。假定10年國債利率是美國總債務的平均利率,按現在3%的水平,以後每年光償還利息就相當於GDP的2.2%(73%X3%)。美國2012年GDP是16.62 trillion,那就等於光還利息要花去350billion(16.62 trillionX2.2%)。如果利率升到4%的水平,以後每年光償還利息就相當於GDP的2.9%(73%X4%)。那償還利息要花去470billion(16.62 trillionX2.9%)。從GDP增長的前景看,美國經濟需要保持實際年增長率3%以上才不至於被還利息蠶食。同時我們也更加看到10年國債利率的變化對美國財政收支的巨大影響。
現在的兩難是:繼續QE,債務總額彪升(從2007到2012,債務升了一倍),導致乘法算式的一個因子上升;停止QE,債務上升減緩,但利率上升,乘法公式的另一個因子變大。所以美國負債的前景不好,總債務額和利率當中必然有一個要升。操作不當的話,兩個一齊升。

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The U.S. national debt is now about 73% of gross domestic product, the Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday. The percentage of debt is higher than any point since around World War II, and twice the percentage it was at the end of 2007, the nonpartisan agency said in its long-term budget outlook. If current laws stay in place, debt will decline "slightly" relative to GDP over the next few years, the agency said. But it warned that growing future deficits will push the debt to 100% of GDP 25 years from now.
