Federal Deficit Reduction

From the Paper:

" Deficit reduction moved to the top of America's public agenda in February 1993 when President Clinton laid out his economic plan. In a major speech to Congress that took the problem of the national debt seriously, President Clinton underscored his intention to encourage the nation to think long term. He described the kinds of sacrifices that will be necessary to reduce the deficit over the next five years, proposing a series of spending cuts and tax increases.


The purpose of this research is to examine the programs necessary to reduce the federal deficit and move towards a balanced budget. Emphasis will be given to examining the types of spending cuts available to the federal government for reducing the deficit.
