SummaryThe consequences of balancing the US budget are potentially harming. Whether it is decided to balance at a rapid or steady rate, there will be complications of massive influence on the American people. Let us explore in a triumvirate approach the shortcomings of forcing such a balance.
Attempts to balance the budget may cause a sudden recession, increasing unemployment and decreasing consumption. As there is already a considerable amount of tension on the market to recede out of its natural trend, an additional push would achieve tremendous after-effects. To accomplish a budget balance, the government will have to increase taxes and contract spending. Because the government is the number one spender in the US, the market will be destabilized as the demand will shrink significantly. The lowered GDP will be a reflection of the spike in the unemployment rate as people lose jobs.
