As U.S. debt approaches $40 trillion, concerns are growing that demand for Treasuries — the very foundation of the global financial system — may not be as stable as markets assume. What happens if buyers step back? And what does that mean for interest rates, inflation, and the broader economy? In this deep dive, Michelle explains the mechanics behind a potential “fiscal doom loop,” why this cycle could accelerate quickly, and how today’s risks differ fundamentally from the 2008 financial crisis.
