$2 trillion deficit and 5% Treasury yields strain US economy

Original: Analysis: Why a $2 trillion deficit and 5% Treasury yields are becoming America's biggest economic challenge

The United States is running a federal deficit of roughly $2 trillion while 10-year Treasury yields hover around 5%, a combination analysts are calling the country's biggest economic challenge. Rising borrowing costs make servicing the national debt more expensive, squeezing the budget further, and raising concerns about fiscal sustainability, inflation pressures and the government's ability to fund spending without unsettling financial markets.

Why now: Concerns are growing that high deficits and elevated borrowing costs threaten US fiscal stability and the broader economy.
