“This bill, also championed by the youth-led ‘The Can Kicks Back’ campaign, would make it more difficult for Washington politicians to kick the can down the road by providing information about the long-term impact of today’s unsustainable fiscal policy. Specifically, the INFORM Act would expose two important but often ignored realities. First, with an aging population, rising healthcare costs and mounting interest expense, federal spending is set to automatically and dramatically increase the ‘mandatory’ part of our budget. Second, young people and future generations will disproportionately shoulder the burden of our fiscal imbalance.”
