I feel like I've seen a lot of newspaper articles lately about various economic problems - the New York Times says that the US "could run out of cash by June 1st," for example; people keep talking about inflation and the debt ceiling - but it seems like a lot of these problems are scary but then get solved and removed from public concern in some way, either effectively or pushing it down the line. My question is, will there be serious economic impacts that in some way affects the day-to-day lives of citizens of the United States from an economic crisis that is reported on by the media by January 1st, 2024? Or was this all not as imminently scary as it sounds?

I'm happy to listen to economic analysis as I do know some stuff about economics in general but I've not been paying attention recently, so I'm curious how other people see it.
