Version 0.31 (2024-08-06 16:05:45.941000)

updates: The U.S. is facing a looming fiscal disaster due to the increasing federal debt, primarily driven by Medicare and Social Security. President Joe Biden has promised not to touch social security or cut Medicare, while Republican lawmakers have supported him. The U.S. already spends more on interest payments on the debt than on Medicaid and defense. If interest rates rise to 5-7 percent, the federal debt could surpass 300 percent of GDP. The combination of rising healthcare costs and retiring baby boomers is causing Social Security and Medicare costs to explode. Former Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump also contributed significantly to the debt. There is not enough wealth among millionaires, billionaires, and undertaxed corporations to close the projected $124 trillion cash shortfall of Social Security and Medicare. The eligibility age for Social Security will need to rise, and Medicare will have to become cheaper. Voters are partly to blame for the fiscal insolvency due to their demands for a balanced budget, higher spending, and no more taxes. Eventually, the U.S. will pay the price for its debt.
