Government debt all over the world used to be bought by people who didn't care about the cost. That's changing. A government can decide how much to borrow. It cannot decide how much it costs to borrow. That gets set by whoever is willing to lend. And demand is not always stable. It comes from a crowd of lenders, with opinions about price. Swap the crowd and you have swapped the price, without changing a single thing about the debt.
