Coming Soon: A $26 Trillion National Debt
Last week was a nail-biter for anyone concerned about the consequences of our rapidly increasing national debt (If you’re not concerned, click here to find out why you should be).
- First, the President’s Office of Management and Budget released updated budget numbers (pdf) projecting a record $1.47 trillion deficit for 2010. That means our government has enough money in 2010 to pay for entitlement programs (like Social Security and Medicare) and interest on the debt. Everything else – from transportation to education, from homeland security to NASA – is going on the nation’s credit card.
- Next, the Congressional Budget Office released an analysis (pdf) warning of a sudden and devastating financial crisis that could be caused by our mounting debt. Their stern warning to big-spenders in Congress: “…the higher the debt, the greater the risk of such a crisis.”
- Finally, a top analyst for Moody’s – a prominent credit rating agency – warned the United States that it needs to spell out a plan to reduce its national debt. Otherwise, Moody’s could lower our credit rating, an event whose consequences will ripple throughout the economy and impact everyone (think: hundreds of dollars added to your monthly mortgage payment).
Despite these dire warnings, our national debt is still on track to double from $13 trillion to $26 trillion in the next ten years.
