Why Americans Want Results, Not Finger Pointing, in Washington

The Federal Budget Deficit: An Ongoing Challenge

For decades, the United States has grappled with persistent federal budget deficits. Every year, as lawmakers debate spending bills and tax policies, the government often spends more than it collects, adding billions—sometimes trillions—to the national debt. This recurring issue is not new. In fact, it has spanned generations and administrations of both major political parties.

Each side of the political aisle is quick to accuse the other of reckless spending, tax giveaways, or fiscal mismanagement. Cable news and social media amplify these arguments, making it seem as if the most important question is: “Who is responsible for this mess?” It’s time, past time for Congress to stop wasting time and get to work. Do your job, as the American people has hired [elected] you to do, and balance the budget!
