If bad, suggest some plausible solutions to eradicating the budgetary deficits. Finally, link this discussion of the federal budgetary deficit with an individual’s savings-to-debt ratio.

When overall savings decrease, what do you think happens to investments and the lending abilities of financial institutions?
