updates: The U.S. national debt has officially surpassed $35 trillion, nearly tripling in the last 20 years. The annual deficit is projected to reach almost $2 trillion this year and nearly $3 trillion in ten years. Medicare and Social Security are at risk of insolvency due to the worsening fiscal situation. The cost of interest on the national debt has doubled since President Joe Biden took office and is on track to become the largest expense for the federal government. The Peterson Foundation reports that interest costs in 2024 will total $892 billion, a 36% increase from the previous year. Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, emphasizes the need for fiscal responsibility and action from leaders to address the debt crisis.

Version 0.12 (2023-10-23 10:24:37.112000)

updates: The US government ended its fiscal year with a budget deficit of $1.695 trillion, a 23% increase from the previous year, making it the largest deficit since the COVID-19 pandemic-induced deficit in 2021. Total revenues fell by 9% while outlays fell by 2% compared to the previous year. Social Security spending rose by 10% and spending for the Medicare program rose by 4%. Interest costs on the federal debt rose by 23% to a record high. President Joe Biden's proposed foreign aid and security spending, along with demands for spending cuts from Republicans, are expected to fuel fiscal battles. The deficit reduction was partially due to the Supreme Court striking down Biden's student loan forgiveness program. The Congressional Budget Office warns that deficits will approach COVID-era levels by 2030. Economists argue that these interest payments are economically wasteful. The government spent more on interest than on all federal programs for children. Within three years, if interest rates remain elevated, analysts say payments on the debt could become the second-largest federal program. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected that payments on the debt would cost roughly $5.4 trillion in the next decade. Officials downplayed the increase in a news release, focusing instead on the strength of the economy and Biden's proposals to reduce future deficits. Republicans have begun insisting on deep budget cuts to reduce the federal deficit. The larger spending imbalance has collided with rising borrowing costs. Some economists argue that the danger posed by higher interest payments is overstated. Still, other policy experts said the risks are real and growing.
