Concerns Over Economic Indebtedness

The U.S. economy faces substantial challenges due to high levels of indebtedness, with national debt exceeding $35 trillion. The deficit, currently running at over 6% of GDP during a period of economic growth, raises alarms about sustainability. This scenario is troubling, especially as such a persistent deficit could lead to deteriorating debt-to-GDP ratios. The impact of increased government spending is compounded by discussions around potential tax cuts from the new administration, which could further exacerbate these issues.
