Fox News: Capitol Hill braces for high-stakes showdown over $36T US debt crisis
A potential confrontation over the U.S. debt limit is expected by mid-June 2025, as the government faces a projected $2 trillion deficit. The Economic Policy Innovation Center warns that without raising the debt limit, the U.S. could struggle to meet its financial obligations, risking severe economic consequences.
The debt ceiling negotiations present an opportunity for Republicans to push for deficit reduction measures. The current fiscal trajectory is deemed unsustainable, and past debt limit discussions have historically led to spending reforms. With a new Congress and shifting leadership, bipartisan cooperation will be crucial for any agreement.

Fox News: Economic experts pan Hochul’s ‘inflationary’ ‘inflation refunds’: ‘Not difficult math’
New York Governor Kathy Hochul's proposal for $3 billion in "inflation refunds" has faced criticism from economic experts. The plan aims to provide direct payments of $300 to single taxpayers and $500 to joint filers, funded by increased sales tax revenues. Critics argue this approach merely redistributes money to gain voter favor rather than address underlying economic issues.
Economists suggest that reducing sales tax would be a more effective solution to help residents, while concerns about inflation being exacerbated by government spending were raised. Some experts warn that such payments could lead to a cycle of increased government expenditures and higher taxes, ultimately failing to alleviate the cost of living for New Yorkers.
