While US GDP appears to be growing, ordinary people's wallets are getting thinner! Mortgages, car loans, and credit card debt are mounting simultaneously, and the Federal Reserve's high interest rates are driving up debt repayment costs! To make matters worse, the US government itself is burdened with $40 trillion in national debt, with long-term bond yields soaring to multi-year highs. Both the government and the public are tied to interest rates! With inflation refusing to subside and the Fed potentially raising rates again, the US economy is trapped in a high-interest-rate predicament of "borrowing more and more, repaying more and more difficult"!
