Deficit Watch(TM)

U.S. DEFICIT WATCH^TM is the Authoritative Monitor of Government and Other Deficits compiled from public records and budget documents by International Horizons Unlimited.

The deficit is a dynamic indicator of the financial stability of America. The Deficit Watch^TM goal is to be a single objective source of information compiled from public records and budget documents where the public and private sectors, the media, and the public can turn to learn about the factors contributing to the rising deficit, the impacts of the costs of the War on Terrorism, and other significant influence resulting in the growing deficit threat. This service will help bring spending accountability and fiscal responsibility back to the American economy and the American people.

Government at all levels must be held accountable for the rapidly spiraling costs of the War on Terrorism. “What does it mean in terms of new deficits at the state, local, and federal levels, resulting in drastically reduced spending for vital programs like education and healthcare?” Dr. Saul B. Wilen, CEO of International Horizons Unlimited asks. “The already faltering economy is being severely stressed, and the War on Terrorism can be the seed of America’s economic destruction as hoped for by America’s enemies."

The public must be kept aware of mounting government and private sector deficits.
Terrorist economic strategies are working; the return of deficits is an indicator of the negative impacts by the War on Terrorism on the already fragile economy.
State and local officials, and the private sector financial sources around the nation contribute to the update. The fiscal information submitted for use is accompanied by appropriate verifying/source documentation. Sources remain confidential. Since December 17, 2002 with the announcement of Deficit Watch^TM there has been an overwhelming response to participate from all quarters. This response continues.
Deficit Watch^TM monitors and reports how the dollars are being used through applying cost effectiveness parameters and evaluation for prevention strategies.
The U.S. Deficit Watch^TM initiative is available to the media, public officials, and private economic interests nationally.
International Horizons Unlimited, a national consulting, resources, and strategies consortium coordinates the efforts and compile the information.
Highlights of various sectors and entities are featured.

“We believe in the importance of accountability,” Dr Wilen emphasizes. “When hundreds of billions of public and private dollars are being spent at a record pace, the American people deserve to know how the money is being spent.” They deserve to have this tool available to help them assess spending reports and policies. It is necessary for them to know how to ask the important questions and demand the answers."
