Could These Parts Of The Debt Ceiling Deal Hasten A Recession? | Adam Taggart

This will vacuum up liquidity from the system. In similar fashion, the FRA will re-start payment of student loans for the first time in over 2 years for 45 million households.

These repayments will take a bite out of consumer spending when real retail sales are already declining. Will these factors overwhelm the relief the raising of the debt ceiling is expected to provide?
