The US federal budget deficit reached nearly $2 trillion in fiscal year 2026, increasing by $218 billion from the previous year due to higher national debt servicing costs and increased federal spending. Despite a 3% rise in tax revenues, spending grew by 6%, with significant increases in interest payments, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and military expenses. The deficit's growth highlights ongoing fiscal challenges, prompting calls for bipartisan efforts to reduce deficits to more sustainable levels. Experts warn that without changes, the fiscal trajectory could negatively impact inflation and interest rates for Americans.
