The most likely result of new US government programs beginning without any budget to pay for them would be a budget deficit or increased government debt. The government would likely resort to borrowing or increasing its borrowing to fund these programs, which would add to the overall national debt. This could lead to several consequences, including increased interest payments, reduced investor confidence, and potential inflationary pressures. Additionally, without a proper budget, resources may be misallocated, and inefficiencies in program implementation can arise. Ultimately, the burden of such fiscal policies may fall on future generations, as they would need to bear the cost of servicing the debt incurred.
