Current U.S. government spending appears unsustainable long-term. In 2025, the deficit is $1.9 trillion (6.2% of GDP), with debt at 98% of GDP, projected to hit 118% by 2035 (CBO). Interest costs, now $579 billion, outpace major programs and are set to rise. Social Security and Medicare face trust fund depletion in 8-11 years (GAO). The dollar's reserve status offers some flexibility, allowing lower borrowing costs, but this is debated as it doesn't address structural deficits. Historical debt management post-WWII suggests short-term feasibility, but long-term projections indicate policy changes are needed to avoid fiscal instability.

Interesting. Those who watched only a little were more swayed by Carney; those who watched the whole thing preferred Poilievre. Which is more representative of the marginal voter?
