Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, breaks down a critical warning from former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson – that the U.S. may be heading toward a “break-the-glass” moment in its debt markets.

As U.S. debt approaches $40 trillion, concerns are growing that demand for Treasuries — the very foundation of the global financial system — may not be as stable as markets assume. What happens if buyers step back? And what does that mean for interest rates, inflation, and the broader economy?

In this deep dive, Michelle explains the mechanics behind a potential “fiscal doom loop,” why this cycle could accelerate quickly, and how today’s risks differ fundamentally from the 2008 financial crisis.
