    Area of Science:

    • Public Policy
    • Economics
    • Government Spending

    Background:

    • Federal budget deficits necessitate spending reductions.
    • Nondefense discretionary spending is a recurring target for budget cuts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the feasibility and potential consequences of further reducing nondefense discretionary spending for budget balancing.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of historical budget proposals and outcomes.
    • Analysis of the composition of nondefense discretionary spending.
    • Economic modeling of spending cut impacts.

    Main Results:

    • Nondefense discretionary spending has already been significantly reduced.
    • Further substantial cuts may be unsustainable or ineffective.
  • The remaining 'meat' for budget cuts is limited.

    • Conclusions:

    • Balancing the budget solely through nondefense discretionary spending cuts is increasingly challenging.
    • Alternative fiscal strategies may be required to achieve budget balance.
    • Current approaches risk unfulfilled fiscal objectives.
