Post says average Treasury rate is 3.5% while 10-year yields 5.2%

A post on r/stocks claims that the average interest rate on marketable Treasury debt was 3.52% on Sept 30, up from 1.43% at the end of 2021, while the 10-year yielded 5.24% on Oct 9. It argues every maturity on the curve now yields more than the average the government pays, so rolled-over debt gets more expensive and the interest bill rises even if yields stay flat.
