The US debt crisis is worse than ever before:
In May, the US Treasury posted a $316 billion deficit, the third largest ever recorded.
Over the last 12 months alone, the budget gap has hit 7% of GDP.
This is even higher than during the 2001 or the 1980s recessions.
Now, there is a 97% chance of the debt ceiling being hiked again, per @Kalshi.
$40 trillion in US debt is on the horizon.
