The Comptroller General testified before Congress about the federal government’s unsustainable long-term fiscal outlookâthe growing imbalance between revenues (money collected) and spending (driven by health care, Social Security, and net interest on the debt).
A plan is needed to put the nation on a sustainable long-term fiscal path. But in the near-term, Congress and executive branch agencies have opportunities to improve the government’s fiscal condition, including trying to address improper payments and the tax gap, as well as making changes where federal programs or activities are at high risk or fragmented, overlapping, or duplicative.
