WHAT CATASTROPHE POSSIBLY LIES AHEAD IF WE DO NOT ADDRESS OUR RISING NATIONAL DEBT???

The biggest problem caused by our now rising out-of-control National Debt is that we could lose our position as the world’s Global Currency if we don’t do something!!

CAN THE FED, AS IT HIKES INTEREST RATES TO FIGHT INFLATION, CAN THIS ACTION, AT THE SAME TIME, ALSO ADDRESS OUR PENDING DEBT CEILNG CRISIS?

Yes, as The Fed raises Interest Rates to Curb Inflation—The result of this action of Raising Interest Rates, Diminishing Demand by Increasing the Costs of Borrowing Money thereby Decreasing Purchases of Consumer Items such as Homes and Cars and for Businesses–Loans for Start-Ups, Ventures, Expansion and Equipment, can also help with Our Debt Ceiling Crisis!!
