The Congressional Budget Office expects a $1.853 trillion deficit in fiscal 2026, with interest on the debt topping $1 trillion and public debt at 101 percent of GDP. The answer is not higher taxes but fewer programs, smaller agencies, and an end to emergency spending.

The Congressional Budget Office projects deficits exceeding $2 trillion for fiscal year 2026, with interest payments on the national debt consuming nearly 20 cents of every federal dollar. That is not a revenue problem. It is a spending addiction.
