Reducing the $2T federal deficit could lower inflation, interest rates for Americans: CRFB

Why now

Thesis: Fiscal-hawk argument, no enacted policy yet

Catalyst to watch: Congressional budget negotiations or Treasury refunding

Main risk: Deficits keep widening, negating the thesis

Why it matters

Deficit reduction could ease inflation and yields, but the claim is advocacy from a fiscal watchdog, not a policy action.
