3 The Consequences of Rising Debt Slower Growth: The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects the economy will be 4 to 6 percent larger by 2040 if we fix the debt instead of continuing to let it grow Higher Interest Rates: Growing federal debt causes higher interest rates throughout the economy, increasing payments for mortgages, car and student loans, and credit card debt Crowds Out Other Government Priorities: By 2027, mandatory spending and interest on the debt will consume all revenue, leaving little room for important discretionary investments 3
4 The Consequences of Rising Debt (cont d) Inability to Respond to Next Crisis: Since the Great Recession began, we have increased debt levels from 35 to 75 percent of GDP through automatic stabilizers, stimulus, and rescue measures. Little fiscal space is available for the next recession Endangered Entitlements: The SSDI trust fund will run out in , the Medicare HI trust fund in , and the Social Security retirement trust fund in Unsustainability: Debt is at record levels, other than around WWII, and continuing to rise higher each year. CBO describes this as a trend that would ultimately be unsustainable 4

20 What Would It Take to Get Debt Under Control? 20
21 What Would It Take to Fix the Debt? Under current law, it would require $2.9 trillion over a decade to stabilize the debt at its current record-high levels Under current law, it would require about $7.8 trillion over a decade (depending on details) to balance the budget by 2026 A reasonable fiscal goal would fall between these bookends For Secretary Clinton, this suggests savings of $3.2 to $8 trillion Donald Trump need $14.4 to $19.3 trillion of savings Achieving these savings would require aggressive changes 21

Note: For stabilize the debt, we assumed $2.6 trillion of non-interest savings relative to current law (the equivalent of $2.9 trillion with interest), enough based on current GDP projections to achieve a debt-to-gdp ratio of 75 percent by For balance the budget, we assumed $7.8 trillion of deficit reduction over 10 years to account for interest. 22
23 Spending Cuts Needed Under Our Central Estimates (Percent of All 10-Year Primary Spending) 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% Pay for Proposals Stabilize the Debt Balance the Budget 37% 27% 22% 15% 10% 5% 0% < 1% 6% Clinton Trump Clinton Trump Clinton Trump Source: CRFB calculations based on Congressional Budget Office projections.

The actual 10-year savings to balance could differ substantially based on how policies are implemented.
