Federal Debt Trends and Projections
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has released its latest findings, predicting a grim outlook for the federal debt and deficit. Over the next decade, deficits are expected to widen, contributing to increasingly unsustainable national debt levels. These economic indicators present alarming challenges for policymakers as they navigate financial strategies amidst mounting pressures.
Inflation and Economic Policies

- This prolongs uncertainty around interest rates and fiscal policies.
- Political decisions surrounding tariffs and spending will heavily influence these trends.
