The Problem for the U.S. economy is Trajectory, Not Just a Number

begin partial quote from previous article from AI: 

 The Problem is Trajectory, Not Just a Number: Economists emphasize that an ever-upward, compounding path—driven by persistent primary budget deficits, rising healthcare costs, and escalating net interest payments—is what makes the current path unsustainable, rather than just crossing 100%. Bond markets can lose confidence and unravel long before hitting a mathematical ceiling if investors stop believing the government will eventually close the fiscal gap.
