The main reason spending keeps rising is that the costs of the biggest programs, Social Security and Medicare, are driven by an aging population and rising health costs. Both are practically untouchable politically.
In 2025, Social Security spending rose 8%, partly because of Congress’s decision to expand benefits for certain public-sector employees, retroactive to January 2024. Medicare and Medicaid also each increased by 8%. Medicare enrollment is rising, CBO said. Because of eligibility restrictions in Republicans’ tax-and-spending legislation, Medicaid costs likely won’t grow as fast in the future.
