FOX News: Fed's Powell warns Congress that US deficit on 'unsustainable' path
The US deficit soared to $1.9T for the first eight months of the fiscal year, the Congressional Budget Office said
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned Congress during his semi-annual testimony that the U.S. budget deficit, which is expected to hit $3.7 trillion this year, is on an "unsustainable path."
