Well the method within which deficit spending impacts government securities is that they affect the yield curve of these instruments. As a government security becomes a safer investment, the interest rate demanded decreases. If a government becomes less risky with respect to paying back their debt than you're taking less risks on a long term investment. The opposite holds true as well, if a government becomes less reliable with respect to paying back their debt than the markets will respond by anticipating inflation and demanding a higher interest rate for taking risks with their principal. As such, government debt becomes more and more expensive. I'm actually skipping and oversimplifying a lot of steps but I'm trying to answer (guess) your question of step g with what happens in step b.
