The following is for anyone who has a realistic understanding of budgets and fiscal responsibility (i.e. most Democrats). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbo.gov\/system\/files\/2023-02\/58848-Outlook.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Long document<\/a> This is bracing reading.<\/p>\n<p>CBO said that, however bad the budget situation may seem, it has only gotten worse over the past year. Even if Democrats get their way with fiscal policy, it will only get worse.<\/p>\n<p> Spending too much on blowouts increases the deficit <\/p>\n<p>CBO demolished two myths President Biden tried hawk in his State of the Union address on the nation&#8217;s fiscal position. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2023\/02\/07\/remarks-by-president-biden-in-state-of-the-union-address-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">His speech<\/a>, Biden claimed that deficits have gone down under his watch \u2014 a claim based largely on the fact that members of his own party rejected the full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbo.gov\/system\/files\/2021-12\/57673-BBBA-GrahamSmith-Letter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$5 Trillion<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/12\/13\/republicans-should-force-democrats-to-vote-on-the-full-5-trillion-build-back-bankrupt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Make it back bankrupt<\/a> He suggested that he spend blowout.<\/p>\n<p>CBO still estimated that the federal deficit will rise by $34 billion this fiscal year, compared to last. CBO noted that the deficit would rise this year. &#8220;would be larger if not for a shift in the timing of certain payments,&#8221; Some payments may have to be moved because the fiscal year ends on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Appendix A, which is at the end the report, shows how much the nation&#8217;s financial situation has deteriorated over the long-term. The 10-year deficit, which is approximately 20 percent of the total, has gone up by $3.1 trillion in just 10 years, according to an estimate. The increase is mainly due to two factors.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly $1.5 trillion of the increase in deficit was due to legislative change. The &#8220;burn pit bill&#8221; providing new benefits to veterans \u2014 which was not paid for \u2014 plus Democrats&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/03\/democrats-work-to-tax-and-spend-even-more-as-federal-debt-deficits-mushroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">partisan reconciliation bill<\/a> Last December&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/12\/21\/anonymous-gop-aide-epitomizes-the-swampiness-behind-congresss-omnibus-spending-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Omnibus spending bill<\/a> The vast majority of the deficit increase is attributed to blowout.<\/p>\n<p>The deficit increase is further influenced by economic factors. Higher inflation will generate more than $900 billion in new revenue as individuals and corporations get pushed into higher tax brackets \u2014 but inflation will also cause $2.1 trillion in additional spending on higher Social Security benefits, Medicare and Medicaid benefits, federal pensions, and other similar programs, more than wiping out any budgetary savings from the increase in tax revenue. This is how congressional Democrats are spending their money. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/17\/how-the-federal-reserve-keeps-stoking-inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Loose monetary policies<\/a> The Federal Reserve has been raising taxes for the American people over the past several years. <em>And<\/em> higher deficits.<\/p>\n<p>Biden claimed this in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2023\/02\/07\/remarks-by-president-biden-in-state-of-the-union-address-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Speech to Congress<\/a> His budget is due to be made public on March 9th. &#8220;is going to cut the deficit by \u2026 $2 trillion.&#8221; CBO&#8217;s report revealed that even a modest reduction in deficit wouldn&#8217;t reverse the country\u2019s fiscal problems over the last nine months.<\/p>\n<p> Historically high deficits <\/p>\n<p>It also noted how the deficit and debt have reached historic highs.
