[LOGS] 2. Runtime Logs

INFO: nationalDebtService.getCurrentInterestCost() reports > $30T national debt. This figure has been a constant concern.
DEBUG: Interest payments on said debt are now exceeding national defense spending for the first time in modern history. A new financial baseline appears to be established.
INFO: foreignGovHoldings.getPercentage() reports a sharp decline, now less than 15 percent of the overall Treasury market. This is a significant drop from 40 percent in the early 2010s.
INFO: federalReserve.reduceHoldings() has completed its balance sheet reduction, pulling roughly $1.5T in Treasuries from the market over the past few years.
DEBUG: privateInvestor.acquisitionRate() is increasing, with private investors stepping in to absorb the debt. This indicates the market's fundamental strength but introduces new dynamics.

ERROR: longTermDebt.premiumDemand() is rising, with investors demanding higher premiums. This translates to an approximate 0.8 percentage point increase for the 10-year Treasury, adding billions in extra interest costs.
WARN: monetaryPolicy.riskOfDebasement() increasing as
