CED Calls for a Fiscal Commission to Address Debt Crisis NEW YORK, Feb. 17, 2026 With the US national debt now exceeding $38 trillion and projected to rise sharply in the coming decades, the nation faces a mounting fiscal crisis that threatens economic growth, retirement security, and the nation's global leadership.
In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.
Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
