Tanner: Challenge: Federal Reserve Bank research warns that massive budget, pension and welfare deficits will soon force the U.S. into national bankruptcy. The GAO reports that geo-political challenges and the “graying” of America have created an unfunded fiscal exposure exceeding $46-trillion.
Risk: Mandatory budget expenditures, like interest payments, will steal remaining discretionary spending on social programs. Without immediate, bipartisan action to address the huge fiscal imbalances our currency and economy will falter, leaving the next generation insolvent.
Remedy: Federal programs must use zero-based budgeting and the growth of entitlements must be offset by tax receipts. Send me to Washington so we can rein in deficit spending, enact free and fair trade legislation and reform entitlement programs.
