And it isn’t especially hard to imagine what that combination might look like. It would need to restrain the growth of Medicare and Social Security, already the federal government’s largest budget items and growing rapidly, and it would need to raise taxes. The tax increases could be targeted at the wealthy and corporations, which have received big tax cuts in the past several decades, but they couldn’t necessarily be limited to the wealthy.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>The debt, to be clear, isn’t the only long-term challenge facing the country.

Ultimately, all these challenges overlap: The more money that the U.S. spends on interest payments, the less is available for clean energy, national defense and other priorities.</span></p><h2 style="color:#000;font:700 24px/31px nyt-cheltenham,georgia,serif;margin:0 0 10px"><span>More on the election</span></h2><div style="margin:0 auto;max-width:600px;width:100%"><table><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 0 5px"><ul class="css-14t63jt" style="color:#333;font:10px georgia,serif;text-align:left;padding-left:50px"><li style="margin:0 0 10px 0;line-height:27.5px"><span style="font-size:17px;line-height:25px;vertical-align:middle">On CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Harris was asked about the criticism that she has changed some policies in recent years.
