I notice once again nobody is talking about this (ie: hiding the truth
from the US public), and by the time the US public realise the horrific
implications of this deficit, it is going to be too late to fix it.

 
I do not know where you are getting your information, but the knowledge of the deficit
is not a surprise, nor is it being buried in the media.

Yes, but are the implications been hammered home in the way that they
should be ?

IOW, the US public may "know", in some abstract way, that the US has a
large deficit, but do they understand the full implications of that,
and the relatively short timescale in the future that it could become
a devastating crisis for the US ?
