The Unsustainable US National Debt: A Looming Crisis Ignored by 2024 Presidential Candidates

Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are proposing tax cuts and spending increases that will exacerbate the national debt, which is already at a record high. Experts warn that without significant changes, such as reforming Social Security and Medicare, a debt crisis is inevitable. However, neither candidate is willing to campaign on unpopular but necessary measures like cutting benefits. While voters express concern about the debt, they are unwilling to accept the solutions required to address it. This inaction will ultimately result in a more severe economic crisis, forcing more drastic measures in the future.
