Using debt to get out of debt is like like drinking more alcohol to sober up. These people are either stupid ,completely corrupt, or a chilling combination of both.

So, technically, in this Dutch auction, the cost of borrowing could be much higher than the cost of the loan the government is seeking to retire, whether it is interest payment of retirement of a previous bond. This means that the government is just entangling itself in debt, debt and more debt. You can't borrow at a higher rate to pay of a lower-rate loan. And is it not the responsibility of parliament to put a reasonable ceiling on government spending to stop this a subsequent government from reckless spending - and stealing?

Lol... borrowing to repay debt is called refinancing. if the rate is higher but the maturity is longer than the original debt being refinanced then all is well.
