The Epoch Times: ‘Unsustainable’ Health and Retirement Spending Will Hurt Government Finances: Tax Policy Center
The Tax Policy Center criticizes the bipartisan debt deal for not addressing spending in health care and Social Security, warning of future financial instability. Mandatory spending on Medicare and Social Security accounts for a large portion of government expenditure, while discretionary spending on defense and non-defense items has already been significantly cut. Without reforms in mandatory spending categories, the country's finances will become even more unsustainable.
The recently passed debt deal suspends the country's debt limit and includes spending cuts in non-defense discretionary spending and IRS funding, but does not address Medicare and Social Security. The White House claims it will result in $1 trillion less spending over a decade, but critics argue it will lead to increased spending levels and soaring federal debt. The Congressional Budget Office warns of high and rising debt that will slow economic growth and pose risks to the fiscal and economic outlook.
