AMERICA’S DEFICIT RECKONING: What happens if the U.S. doesn’t rein in the budget deficit? CNBC Senior Finance & Banking Reporter Leslie Picker interviewed a dozen experts, investors and former government officials over the course of five months to explore the consequences of America’s fiscal path – not how to solve it, but what’s at stake if we don’t. This special report unpacks how rising debt threatens markets, hinders economic growth, and fractures international relations. From trillion-dollar annual interest payments to bond-market tremors to geopolitical vulnerability, CNBC explores the tipping point that the U.S. may be approaching – and whether it’s still possible to change course.
