Deficits could threaten national security: Biden

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - If the United States fails to tackle its record budget deficits, they could become a threat to national security over time, Vice President Joe Biden warned on Tuesday.

Biden said the high budget deficit had not become a national security issue yet. "If we don't do something about it, they could and may become a national security issue," he said in an interview on cable news network MSNBC.

Biden was speaking a day after President Barack Obama proposed a budget that projected a deficit of $1.56 trillion for fiscal 2010 but then saw the funding gap shrinking.
