Raising rates could apply to the servicing of debt. What is issued is locked in. However, since governments arent going to stop, issuing new debt would be at a higher rate, raising their servicing costs.
However, that is if rates go up in the market. Looking back, the last two times the Fed went down this path, 2013 and 2018, rates went up for a while then went down.
