“As we enter this budget reconciliation process, it’s important to recognize we are currently on a path to add $22 trillion to the national debt over the next ten years.”

“As a new president and Congress take office, voters across the political spectrum see the need to prioritize addressing our $36 trillion and rising national debt,” said Michael A. Peterson.

“CBO’s new report shows the high budgetary stakes as a new Congress and president begin their terms and face critically important budget decisions this year.”

“With the debt ceiling back in place and a number of major budgetary matters expiring, 2025 is a critical year for America’s fiscal and economic future,” said Michael A. Peterson.

“Our national debt just crossed $36 trillion and sadly we’re currently on pace add $22 trillion more over the next decade,” said Michael A. Peterson.

“With America’s debt rising unsustainably and inflation concerns top of mind, 2025 is a critical year for our economy and fiscal standing,” said Michael A. Peterson, CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.

“As we near the end of a long election season, voters are sending a clear signal that they want candidates to have a plan to address the debt,” said Michael A. Peterson.

Fiscal confidence dropped again this month, as new projections show that America will pay a staggering $77 trillion in interest over the next 30 years.

More than 9-in-10 voters across seven key states say it’s important for candidates to have a plan for the debt.

“Voters are clearly concerned about the growing national debt, and they want their Presidential and Congressional candidates to put forward solutions,” said Michael A. Peterson.
