US economy risks debt spiral as growth trails borrowing costs

Original: The US economy is stuck on a hamster wheel as GDP must outrun borrowing costs—or risk a debt spiral

Fortune reports that the US economy is stuck on a hamster wheel, arguing that economic growth must continuously outpace the government's borrowing costs or the country risks entering a debt spiral. The framing reflects growing anxiety over high interest rates and the rising cost of servicing US federal debt, with analysts debating whether growth, inflation or rate cuts can ease the squeeze.

Why now: Concerns about soaring US debt servicing costs and whether growth can keep up are dominating economic debate.
