Sign InBridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio and Scott Bessent have joined a bipartisan group of House lawmakers to support a new fiscal proposal aimed at tackling the rising US national debt. The initiative, dubbed the '3% Solution,' seeks to narrow the gap between federal revenues and outlays to a maximum of 3% of the nation's GDP. Proponents of the plan argue that such a cap is essential to tame a debt trajectory that many experts now describe as being 'out of control.' The move aims to establish a structured framework for long-term fiscal sustainability and mitigate inflation risks associated with persistent deficit spending.
