core issue
Fiscal Sustainability and Economic Growth
America is on an unsustainable fiscal path that threatens our economy, places a growing burden on future generations and undermines our leadership role in the world. As we add trillion after trillion of debt every year, we diminish the opportunities for Americans to build a future with prosperity and progress. If our fiscal challenges remain unaddressed, the conditions for inclusive economic growth deteriorate, and our children and grandchildren are left with a tremendous future interest burden caused directly by our own irresponsibility today.
