America has faced decades of increasing budgetary deficits and mismanagement. Our national debt is at $30 trillion as of March 17th, 2022, and in the last 20 years, the federal government has taken steps that have worsened the fiscal health of this country. Our government has funded decades of costly wars and enacted disastrous trade agreements, such as NAFTA, that have resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of American jobs.
