Even before the pandemic, the near-historic US debt burden was growing faster than the economy, which is not sustainable. The federal budget debt problem threatens economic stability and will slow economic growth. To address the devastating economic impact of COVID-19, the federal government has incurred substantial costs to keep the economy afloat.
