You're in a situation where you have to cut spending and raise taxes while the left promises to not cut spending and the right promises to not raise taxes. It's an issue the last handful of administrations have not been able to deal with..
It's going to be painful. Hopefully not a drawn out depression like the 1930s.

Virtually nothing in politics or economics is ever permanent.
