. >> tony, yesterday scott wapner interviewed jeffrey gunloc, who spent a lot of time talking about the concerns about it, even going so far at least to say or imply that the fed should be keeping in mind when it raises rates, it will increase the cost of debt and therefore 140 billion in additional interest, so it's something that the fed should be worried about as well. that's not part of their mandate, right >> it's not. they should look at the budget outlook for the next ten years and see if the interest across the united states rise dramatically over this ten-year span it isn't the federal reserve's job, so to speak what would solve the debt problem is an increase in u.s. productivity because what can't solve it is a change in the demographics story. whereas in the past 30 years, we saw an increase of numbers of people to buy and produce services at 1% that's down to half a percent, likely to stay there the next 30 years. he's not going to see growth from that part unless there's immigration laws and that requires investment by the government or incentives by the government for com
