Abstract:
Lawmakers and candidates this year will offer many ways to put America’s fiscal house in order. The details will differ. And it is easy to offer a proposal if political reality is ignored. But unless a deficit reduction plan focuses on wasteful and unnecessary spending, and reduces the underlying costs of entitlement programs rather than cutting benefits, it is unlikely to be a serious plan.
