Don't try to play stupid political games. The US has been weakening itself for ages. But some yanks still blame other countries. Funny! lol. 
The US government overspent budgets for several years, leading to a significant increase in national debt. The overspending was due to the government's inability to balance its revenues and expenditures. This problem has been a long-standing issue that affected several administrations.
Firstly, the government chose to cut taxes without equal cuts in government expenditures. This resulted in the decrease of the revenue that would have been available to fund the government's programs and projects. The deficit grew larger with each tax cut until it reached a point that the federal government had to borrow money to finance its activities.
Secondly, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan contributed to the government's overspending. These wars, along with their sequels, required significant spending on their military campaigns, which drained the country's coffers. The wars were not funded by increased taxes, which resulted in an increase in the government's debt. The issue of overspending was further worsened by the fact that these wars were prolonged, drawing the military's activities longer than expected.
Thirdly, the US government's ballooning deficits were also caused by the skyrocketing healthcare costs in the country. The government's healthcare expenditure skyrocketed mostly due to a disproportionate increase in health insurance coverage. The government-funded healthcare services, such as Medicare and Medicaid, which were originally intended to cater to a small section of the population, have become costly and inefficient, further exacerbating the problem of overspending.
Moreover, earmarks, or special interest appropriations, also contributed significantly to the government's overspending. Earmarks are inserted into federal spending bills by members of Congress, directing funds to particular projects, businesses, or organizations. Despite the considerable share of spending earmarks make up, they seldom go through effective scrutiny. As a result, they are more likely to suffer from cronyism, waste, and mismanagement, leading to overspending.
The US government's overspending for years is a result of several factors. These factors range from inadequate cuts in expenditures, hefty spending on wars and healthcare, and problematic earmarks.
It will require increased political will and the ability to strike a balance between expenditures and revenues to mitigate the overspending that has threatened the NATION'S ECONOMIC STABILITY
