the billionaires are lowering the interest bill as they compete to purchase treasuries. (the money is borrowed from whoever will accept the lowest interest for it. see https://www.treasurydirect.gov/instit/auctfund/work/work.htm https://www.treasurydirect.gov/instit/auctfund/work/work.htm under "Bidding".)
