The US fiscal situation is much worse than that of other major economies:
The US federal budget deficit stands at -6.0% of GDP, the largest among all G7 nations.
The budget gap is also more than TWICE as big as the G7 average of -3.0%.
By comparison, France and the UK are running deficits at -5.0% of GDP.
By 2028, the US deficit is expected to widen to -7.5% of GDP, near the highest since 2021.
At the same time, Italy and Canada are projected to run deficits at -2.0% of GDP over the same period.
The UK, France, Germany, and Japan are all expected to hold deficits below -5.0%.
The US is on an unsustainable fiscal path.
