Debt Ceiling and Fiscal Crisis
DEBT CEILING AND FISCAL CRISIS by Jeff Koterba, politicalcartoons.com
Koterba captures the May 2023 debt ceiling crisis as the United States approached its X-date—the point at which the Treasury would exhaust extraordinary measures and face imminent default on U.S. obligations. The cartoon depicts the genuine global financial risk created by Speaker McCarthy's decision to use the debt ceiling as leverage.
