Economic Commentary Highlights... 

• The United States’ structural budget deficit looms behind the fiscal cliff. 
• Waste, fraud, and abuse, domestic discretionary programs and foreign aid receive a great deal of attention in the media, but are not a significant source of the nation’s long-term budget woes.
• Eighty percent of federal outlays are growing at an unsustainable pace and will contribute the most to our medium- and long-term budget woes in the coming decade.
