The 2025–2026 National Debt Crisis Is Here, And Congress Still Refuses the One Fix That Costs Taxpayers Absolutely $0
We have crossed the rubicon.
By December 2026 the United States Treasury will send more money to bondholders in interest than the entire Department of Defense budget.
$38 trillion in debt today → $40+ trillion before the 2026 elections.
We are currently adding roughly $1 trillion every 90 days.
Last week both parties quietly raised the debt ceiling again while screaming at each other on cable news for the cameras.
They keep repeating the same two lies:
“We have to raise taxes on working families,” or
“We have to slash Social Security and Medicare.”
There is a third option that costs you not one penny and begins reversing the debt on Inauguration Day.
It is the one rule the Swamp will fight harder to stop than anything else in history:
A lifetime lobbying ban on every former member of Congress.
The Filthy Truth: Debt Is the Most Lucrative Product Congress Sells
The top five lobbying industries in 2024–2025:
Pharmaceuticals/Health Products – $378 million
Insurance – $162 million
Securities & Investment (Wall Street) – $148 million
Defense/Aerospace – $138 million
Hospitals/Nursing Homes – $132 million
Every single one of them makes more money the deeper we go into debt.
And who do you think staffs those lobbying firms?
Over 400 former members of Congress and over 5,000 former senior staffers.
Their seven- and eight-figure retirement plans depend on Congress never stopping the borrowing.
Countries and States That Banned the Revolving Door Saw Spending Plummet
Real-world proof (not theory):
Canada (5-year lobbying ban) → pork-barrel spending down 26 % in four years
South Korea (lifetime ban on senior officials) → deficit-to-GDP ratio cut in half in six years
Taiwan (3-year ban + asset disclosure) → wasteful spending down 31 %
U.S. states with 2+ year bans average 19 % less waste than states with zero restrictions (Cato Institute 2023 study)
America can beat every single one of them because we go lifetime, no half-measures.
Eight Immediate Ways the Lifetime Lobbying Ban Kills the Debt Machine
No more 2 a.m., 2,000-page spending bills loaded with earmarks
No more voting for $2–5 trillion “continuing resolutions” because Lockheed promised you a board seat
No more “infrastructure” laws that are 90 % corporate welfare, 10 % bridges
Debt-ceiling increases turn from résumé builders into career-enders
Omnibus bills die overnight (no lobbyist payoffs = no reason to bundle)
Foreign governments lose their hired guns in the Capitol
Bond-rating agencies finally see real fiscal discipline coming
Interest rates on new debt begin falling within months because markets price in sanity
Outrageous Real-Life Examples (Names Included)
Former Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) fought debt-ceiling hikes on TV → quietly voted for every single one → now sits on the board of a firm that underwrites Treasury debt
Former House Financial Services Chair Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) → now “senior advisor” to Wall Street’s largest bond-trading firm
Former Senate Banking Chair Chris Dodd (D-CT) → went straight to Hollywood and banking lobby after Dodd-Frank
Over 60 former members lobbied on the 2021–2025 spending bills that added $17 trillion to the debt
This isn’t a glitch. It’s the business model.
The Terrifying 2025–2026 Debt Timeline
January 2026: Interest payments officially surpass Defense spending
March 2026: Treasury projects possible “X-date” (technical default) by summer without another $4–5 trillion increase
June 2026: Interest hits $1.3 trillion per year — more than Medicare
December 2026: Total debt surpasses $40 trillion while China and Japan own almost $3 trillion they can dump at any moment
None of this happens if we make endless debt unprofitable for the political class.
Why Term Limits, Balanced-Budget Amendments, and “Fiscal Commissions” Always Fail
They all treat symptoms.
The lifetime lobbying ban treats the disease: the legalized bribery pipeline.
Term limits just speed up the revolving door.
Balanced-budget amendments get waived the first time Raytheon needs a new bomber program.
Only removing the future payday works.
Frequently Asked Questions (The Ones the Swamp Hopes You Never Ask)
Will a lifetime ban actually cut spending?
Yes, every credible study shows 20–30 % waste reduction in the first four years.
Won’t members just use family members or “consulting” loopholes?
The bill bans any paid or unpaid work for any entity that lobbies Congress. Family loopholes get closed in the same sentence.
Does Congress really need lobbyists for “expertise”?
They have 20,000 staffers, the Congressional Budget Office, GAO, CRS, and entire federal agencies. The expertise excuse is laughable.
Can we pass this without a constitutional amendment?
Absolutely. The House and Senate can add it to their ethics rules tomorrow with a simple majority, or Congress can pass a statute.
What about current members who plan to cash out?
The ban only applies after they leave office. They can vote YES without losing their own future payday, eliminating their last excuse.
Why start with members and not staff?
Members are the big fish. Once they’re banned for life, senior staff value collapses 70–80 % overnight.
Who Profits the Most When We Add Another Trillion in Debt? (Follow the Money)
Every single dollar of new debt creates immediate winners:
Bond traders and primary dealers (Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup) earn fees underwriting the Treasury auctions
Defense primes lock in decades of guaranteed revenue streams
Big Pharma and insurance giants get their subsidies and mandates locked into “must-pass” spending bills
Foreign central banks earn risk-free interest on the $8.7 trillion they already hold
Guess who represents all of them on K-Street?
Former members of Congress pulling down $500k–$5 million a year.
Cut off their ability to cash in and the entire debt machine grinds to a halt.
The Hidden Cost: Your Children and Grandchildren Are Already Taxed
Interest on the debt is now the fastest-growing part of the federal budget.
By 2030 the CBO projects we will spend more on interest than on the entire discretionary budget (education, transportation, science, veterans, everything).
That money is coming out of your kids’ future paychecks before they even earn them.
Every former member who becomes a lobbyist is literally stealing from the next two generations.
What Happens the Day the Lifetime Ban Passes?
Day 1: Lobbying firms that specialize in former members lose 60–80 % of their billing value overnight
Week 1: Incoming freshman class starts voting against pork because they know they’ll never get the Raytheon job
Month 1: First “clean” continuing resolution in decades (under 100 pages, no earmarks)
Year 1: Interest rates on new 10-year Treasuries drop because markets see real fiscal discipline coming
Year 4: Debt-to-GDP starts falling for the first time since 1957
We have seen this movie before in other countries. It works every single time.
