Why the US Debt Ceiling Keeps Rising

In this episode of Economic Indicators, Lucas and Luna unpack the latest data showing US government debt crossing $40 trillion, more than doubling in a decade. With Treasury Secretary Bessent hinting that the deficit may have peaked and announcing a potential $4 billion buyback operation, they explore what these numbers mean for everyday Americans. From the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.74% to the recent CPI cooling, they connect the dots between fiscal policy, bond markets, and inflation expectations. Lucas explains why the debt-to-GDP ratio matters more than the raw number, and Luna challenges the assumption that deficits are always bad. They also discuss how the Federal Reserve's next move might be influenced by Washington's borrowing plans. If you've ever wondered why the national debt keeps climbing and whether it's sustainable, this episode offers a clear, grounded perspective. #USDebt #40Trillion #TreasuryYields #InflationCooling #FiscalPolicy #Deficit #Bessent #BondMarket #EconomicIndicators #GDP #CPI #FederalReserve #InterestRates #Investing #Macroeconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MoneyTalk Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
