The resolution highlights the alarming state of the United States' public debt, which exceeded $36 trillion in March 2025, representing 124% of the gross domestic product and resulting in a debt burden of $107,000 per citizen. It notes that a significant portion of this debt, over $8 trillion, is held by foreign entities, including more than $800 billion by individuals in China. The resolution also points out the fiscal challenges faced in 2024, where the U.S. experienced a deficit exceeding $1 trillion due to a lack of a balanced budget, with federal outlays surpassing tax receipts. Additionally, it raises concerns about the impending depletion of Social Security and Medicare funds by 2036 and the potential impact of rising global interest rates on U.S. policy priorities.

In light of these issues, the resolution asserts that the national debt poses a significant threat to national security, echoing warnings from former military and intelligence leaders. It calls on the United States Congress to commit to establishing a more effective budgeting process to address the growing debt crisis. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to each member of Kansas's congressional delegation, emphasizing the state's concern regarding the national debt and its implications for both the state and the nation.
