The document discusses projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) regarding rising US budget deficits and debt levels. It notes that deficits were projected to exceed $1 trillion per year by 2022 under prior law and have increased further due to recent tax and spending legislation. If current policies are extended indefinitely, deficits could reach $2.4 trillion by 2028 and debt could exceed 113% of GDP, posing fiscal and economic risks. Higher interest rates could also significantly increase interest costs and debt levels.
