Proposed U.S. budget insufficient to achieve the goal of stabilizing the debt, feels experts

Proposed U.S. budget insufficient to achieve the goal of stabilizing the debt, feels experts Experts have said that the 2011 U. S. budget will result in almost $10 trillion in deficits over 10 years and raise federal debt to 90 percent of economic output by 2020.

The Washington Times reported on Friday that the budget, released by the White House in February, projected a 10-year total deficit of $8.53 million, but the Congressional Budget Office estimates that will climb to $9.75 trillion.

Brian Riedl, a budget analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said, "An additional $1.2 trillion in debt dumped on GDP to our children makes a huge difference. That represents an additional debt of $10,000 per household above and beyond the federal debt they are already carrying."

The CBO further elaborated that the federal debt was $6.3 trillion when President Obama entered office, now stands at $8.2 trillion and is headed toward $20.3 trillion by 2020.

Maya MacGuineas, president of the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, called that level of debt "extremely problematic."

She further said, "The proposed budget is woefully insufficient to achieve the president's goal or the important fiscal goal of stabilizing the debt at a reasonable level in the medium and long term." (With Inputs from Agencies)
