US economy must outgrow its borrowing costs or risk debt spiral

Original: The U.S. economy is running hot and stuck on a hamster wheel as GDP growth must outpace borrowing costs—or else get sucked into a debt spiral

Commentary from Fortune argues the US economy is running hot yet trapped in a cycle: gross domestic product growth has to keep outpacing the government's borrowing costs, or rising debt service payments could push the country into a debt spiral. The piece frames strong growth as a necessity rather than a luxury, given elevated interest rates and mounting federal debt.

Why now: Rising US debt loads and still-elevated interest rates have renewed concern that debt servicing could overwhelm economic growth.
