If the debt continues to grow at an unsustainable level, it could expose the country to a number of dangers. In the extreme, the risk rises that Washington's lenders, many of whom are foreign, could suddenly lose confidence, demand higher interest rates, and trigger a fiscal crisis.

Reducing the debt will require politically difficult decisions to either curb entitlement spending, raise taxes or both.
