Speaking on CNBC, Mnuchin said the Treasury
Department has been discussing the possibility of issuing an
ultralong bond with banks and investors.
"We think there is some demand" for a 50-year bond, Mnuchin
said. "I think it would be a good thing to expand the U.S.'s
borrowing capabilities."
Currently the longest maturity of U.S. Treasury debt is 30
years.
