DW NOTE
The US has now borrowed more than the entire global economy produced in 2022. Congress raised the debt ceiling by $5 trillion this year; it took eight months to spend through it. The deficit is running at $2 trillion — double the nominal target — while the Fed holds rates at 3.75% and inflation stays above target. There is no plan, only compounding.
