While it is true that the amount of the U.S. deficit is only part of the fiscal picture, it is also true the real issue is the ability to service the debt and the constant need to refinance our bonds that is threatening our country. The goal of this whitepaper is to examine why the soaring deficit in 2025 is different than past deficits and why we are on track to not only reduce the quality of life in the United States, but why the current deficit will impact the consumer for decades to come. In the process we have the answers on what is needed to open up the gridlock, solve the immigration crisis in a way that respects working immigrants who are already here, and what will be needed to save our country from the path we are on.
