America’s fiscal situation is rapidly deteriorating, yet political leaders continue to engage in blame games rather than solving the problem. Both parties are guilty of reckless borrowing—whether through unpaid-for tax cuts or unsustainable spending—and voters continue to reward empty promises.
The consequences of this unchecked debt are severe, weakening the economy, driving inflation, increasing interest payments, and posing a national security risk. The U.S. is on track to break post-WWII debt records in just four years, yet lawmakers refuse to take meaningful action.

• Economic and national security threats: Rising debt crowds out investment, slows growth, fuels inflation, and weakens the U.S. against foreign adversaries.
• A path forward: Implementing fiscal discipline through “No New Borrowing” and a $9 trillion savings plan could stabilize the debt.
• Time is running out: The longer action is delayed, the harder the solutions will be—and the greater the risk of a full-blown crisis.
