Budget experts warn that the United States is facing the risk of a fiscal crisis, which could force Congress and future leaders to raise taxes and cut social welfare. US public debt has surged past $40 trillion during the first 19 months of President Donald Trump's second term, while federal spending has increased rather than decreased, amid the prolonged war with Iran and higher interest payment costs after 30-year bond yields hit their highest level in nearly 20 years. Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, stated that Trump's record cannot be called a fiscal success, and responsibility lies with all parties, especially the president. The surge in public debt comes ahead of the November midterm elections, which will determine whether Republicans can maintain their majority in Congress, while the public is affected by higher mortgage rates and inflation rising faster than wages.
