A Tipping Point in the U.S. Deficit? How the U.S. Can Reverse Course

Season 2026 Episode 8170 | 18m 16s

After three months of war with Iran the U.S. government's borrowing costs are at their highest since 2007. All this is unfolding since the national debt surpassed the size of the U.S. economy in late March. Maya MacGuineas is the President of the nonprofit Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. She speaks with Walter Isaacson about what policymakers might do to reel in this crisis.
