By the ClickNNY North Country Desk
A national poll is asking whether Americans are concerned about the United States’ national debt, which is projected to surpass $40 trillion in the coming days.
Inflation, the war in Iran and rising global debt could affect demand for government bonds and increase borrowing costs, including interest paid by the federal government and costs tied to mortgages, car loans and business loans. The poll is available online.
