Source: CBO August 2010.

THE CONCORD COALITION Current Policy Trends Lead to Large Sustained Deficits Fiscal Years CBO August 2010 Baseline The Concord Coalition Plausible Baseline assumes that discretionary spending grows at the rate of nominal GDP, that war costs slow gradually, that Medicare physician payment cuts are postponed, and that all expiring tax provisions (including those from the 2009 stimulus package) are extended with AMT relief.

THE CONCORD COALITION Sources of Growth in the Federal Budget Over the Next 30 Years Source: Government Accountability Office and Congressional Budget Office Individual Income Taxes = 6.5% Current Defense Spending = 4.7%

THE CONCORD COALITION Shortcomings of the Current System There is no fiscal goal PAYGO has large and confusing exemptions PAYGO does not apply to automatic spending growth Annual appropriations have no enforceable cap Long-term costs are not accounted for Inadequate oversight

THE CONCORD COALITION Possible Changes Set a fiscal goal such as debt-to-GDP ratio Eliminate PAYGO exemptions Set targets for major entitlement programs enforced by automatic triggers Set multi-year enforceable spending caps Require long-term cost estimates in the budget resolution and for major initiatives Adopt biennial budgeting and/or “base closing” approach
