Don’t forget that the USA federal government has hit the debt limit and is currently attempting "extraordinary measures" to avoid sovereign default. The next few days/weeks will be interesting.

DT didn't care https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/... - he wanted the limit gone. Also it's a self-imposed limit that can be changed, rather than an external constraint.

Basically, yes the debt issue is real, but this seems unrelated.
