Entering next crisis already indebted can restrict response, Justin Wolfers warns
High debt may limit U.S. action

Justin Wolfers, industry influencer, cautions that while debt is not escalating immediately, its upward path poses significant concerns. If the U.S. enters a future war, recession, or pandemic burdened with considerable debt, the country's fiscal flexibility to address emergencies could be constrained.

Wolfers recently noted that the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged, highlighting a split among policymakers over future decisions. Elsewhere, ongoing uncertainty in oil markets persists, with Jared Dillian reporting that oil futures remain highly pessimistic, partly due to geopolitical risks. These developments come as questions persist over the U.S. economy’s ability to respond to major shocks.
