The document discusses the trade deficit and fiscal deficit issues facing the US economy. It provides an overview of key economic indicators like GDP, inflation, and monetary and fiscal policies. It then analyzes the US trade deficit in more depth, noting that imports exceeded exports in 2010, leaving a $43 billion deficit. Major trade partners with deficits are China, Canada, and Mexico. The document also examines the country's large fiscal deficit, which was $1.56 trillion in 2010 and has historically increased government debt levels over time. A variety of approaches to balancing the deficit are mentioned, including increasing tax revenues, reducing spending, and issuing more government bonds.

Since 2007, federal debt held by the public has more than doubled in relation to the size of the economy, and it will keep growing significantly if the large annual budget deficits projected under current law come to pass. The Congress faces an array of policy choices as it confronts the challenges posed by such large and growing debt.
Fred Dickson, Chief Investment Strategist for DA Davidson spoke at the Southern Oregon Business Conference on January 26, 2011. While our region has some specific challenges, it is good to hear that we are avoiding a double-dip recession and we can expect to continue a slow recovery.

After the US dollar replaced gold, the US debt became the attention worldwide, thus the demand for the US dollar continued, furthermore the extremely low interest of the dollar. This helped the US government to borrow great amounts of debt as well as kept the creditors pleased. Due to the pandemic, the US economy retrograded because of the tax cut and unproductive rescue spending plan plus surpassing spending of the government. The rising inflation starts to increase to high levels, which certainly the government must cut back spending or its patterns, while this will lead to uncertain consequences for the long future. This paper discusses several different perspectives on the US government's sustainability as its ability to settle the debt in future, the fate of growth burdened with that debt through the neoclassical mode of growth, and also the effect of anxiety of defaults and unfunded obligations. Inversely, it explores the strength of the dollar with a low-interest rate and its sustainability worldwide. We also propose ways helping of strengthen the fiscal government position and solutions to help the economy recover in long term and to easiest the situation. In the synopsis, we propose something that could affect and shake the global market.
The non-partisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) has compiled a brief background on the scope of our nation's fiscal challenges and the drivers of our debt and deficits, while outlining some of the types of solutions available to address the problems. This Powerpoint is meant to offer an objective, easily-accessible view of our country's fiscal situation as an educational tool meant to help foster open and honest discussion about these issues.

During FY 2009, the federal government collected approximately $2.1 trillion in tax revenue. Primary receipt categories included individual income taxes (43%), Social Security/Social Insurance taxes (42%), and corporate taxes (7%).[6] Other types included excise, estate and gift taxes. Tax revenues have averaged approximately 18.3% of gross domestic product(GDP) over the past 40 years, generally ranging plus or minus 2% from that level.[7]Tax revenues are significantly affected by the economy. Recessions typically reduce government tax collections as economic activity slows. For example, during FY2009, the U.S. government collected about $400 billion less than FY2008. Individual income taxes declined 20%, while corporate taxes declined 50%. At 15% of GDP, the 2009 collections were the lowest level of the past 50 years.[8]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget#Major_receipt_categories
During FY 2009, the federal government spent nearly $3.52 trillion on a budget or cash basis, up 18% versus FY2008 spend of $2.97 trillion. Primary expenditure categories (shown in the pie chart in the introduction above) include: Defense and Homeland Security ($782B or 23%), Social Security ($678B or 20%), and Medicare & Medicaid ($676B or 19%). Expenditures are classified as mandatory, with payments required by specific laws, or discretionary, with payment amounts renewed annually as part of the budget process.[6]Over the past 40 years, mandatory spending for programs such as Medicare and Social Security has grown as a share of the budget, while defense grew around 9% per year excluding war costs and other discretionary categories have declined. Between 1966 and 2006, Medicare and Social Security grew from 16% of the budget to 40%. Discretionary outlays, which rely on annual appropriations for funding, accounted for 38.0% of total federal outlays in FY2008.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget#Major_receipt_categories
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_debthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeficitGross debt includes not only bonds and liabilities tobanks, but also liabilities to non-banks from promissorynotes, lease liabilities, liabilities arising from ABStransactions (capital marketliabilities), liabilitiesfromderivatives and cash collateral received for positive fairvalues of derivatives, as well as other interest-bearing(Social Security Trust Funds ) financial liabilities.
GDP is a measure of the total size and output of the economy. One measure of the debt burden is its size relative to GDP. In fiscal 2007, U.S. public debt was approximately $5 trillion (36.8 percent of GDP) and total debt was $9 trillion (65.5 percent of GDP.)[61] Public debt represents money owed to those holding government securities such as Treasury bills and bonds. Total debt includes intra-governmental debt, which includes amounts owed to the Social Security Trust Funds (about $2.2 trillion in FY 2007)[62] and Civil Service Retirement Funds. By August 2008, the total debt was $9.6 trillion.[63]Based on the 2010 U.S. budget, total national debt will nearly double in dollar terms between 2008 and 2015 and will grow to nearly 100% of GDP, versus a level of approximately 80% in early 2009.[64] Multiple government sources including the current and previous presidents, the GAO, Treasury Department, and CBO have said the U.S. is on an unsustainable fiscal path.[65] As the debt ratio increases, the exchange value of the dollar may fall. Paying back debt with cheaper currency could cause investors (including other governments) to demand higher interest rates if they anticipated further dollar depreciation. Paying higher interest rates could slow domestic U.S. growth.Higher debt increases interest payments on the debt, which already exceed $430 billion annually as discussed below, or about 15 cents of every tax dollar for 2008.[66] According to the CIA Factbook, only six other countries have debt to GDP ratios over 100% for 2008, the largest of which is Japan at 170%.[67]Further, a high public debt to GDP ratio may also slow economic growth. Economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoffcalculated that countries with public debt above 90 percent of GDP grow by an average of 1.3 percentage points per year slower than less debt-ridden countries. The public debt-to-GDP ratio in March 2010 is about 60 percent of GDP; CBO projects it will reach 90 percent around 2020 under policies in place in 2010. If growth slows, all of the economic challenges the U.S. faces will worsen.[68]Historical analysis of government spending or debt relative to GDP can be misleading, according to the GAO, CBO and Treasury Department. This is because demographic shifts and per-capita spending are causing Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid expenditures to grow significantly faster than GDP. If this trend continues, government simulations under various assumptions project mandatory spending for these programs will exceed taxes dedicated to these programs by more than $40 trillion over the next 75 years on a present value basis.[69]According to the GAO, this will double debt-to-GDP ratios by 2040 and double them again by 2060, reaching 600 percent by 2080.[70] A GAO simulation indicates that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid expenditures alone will exceed 20% of GDP by 2080, which is approximately the historical ratio of taxes collected by the federal government. In other words, these mandatory programs alone will take up all government revenues under this simulation.[69]

With respect to entitlement spending, the nation must change course before the deficit and debt reachunprecedented heights. The Government must act to bring social insurance expenses and resources in balance.Delays will increase the magnitude of the reforms needed and will place more of the burden on future generations.There is no simple fix to the projected imbalance between social insurance expenditures and revenues. The preciseamount of the Government’s future financial responsibilities is far from certain, as they are based on many complexcalculations and assumptions. Nevertheless, the magnitude of these responsibilities and the pressing need to controltheir continued growth are evident.The Government has made and is expected to continue to make a vast commitment of financial resources toestablish and maintain stability in the credit markets. The Government expects that at least some of the financialassets acquired by the Government in its market stabilization efforts may eventually return full value to the taxpayerand possibly even earn a positive return on amounts spent as economic conditions improve. The Governmenthas been able to take these stabilization actions because of the deep, liquid market for Treasury securities. Theunsustainable growth in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid remains a long-term fiscal challenge to beaddressed once the current credit crisis has passed and overall economic conditions have improved.
