Although finding solutions to the problems posed by federal budget deficits and the national debt is technical and complicated, making a national commitment to solving these problems is a moral challenge.
Failing to act may be irresponsible because the risk associated with inaction may be severe.
Among others, these risk may include, burdening future generations, breaching social commitments such as those through the Social Security system and weakening the United States's influence in the world as a force for free institutions and human rights.
