US economy must outgrow its debt costs or risk spiral
Original: The US economy is stuck on a hamster wheel as GDP must outrun borrowing costs—or risk a debt spiral
The US economy is trapped in a cycle where economic growth must continually outpace the government's borrowing costs, according to Fortune. If GDP growth falls below the interest rate on America's mounting debt, the country risks entering a debt spiral in which interest payments balloon and become increasingly hard to service. The piece frames this as a structural challenge facing policymakers amid high deficits and elevated interest rates.
Why now: Concerns about high US deficits and interest costs have made the growth-versus-borrowing-cost equation a hot economic debate
