Notes: This publication contains the project's two major reports: Fiscal Imbalance: A Primer, covering the key principles necessary for understanding the true state of government financial health, and U.S. Fiscal Imbalance over Time: This Time Is Different, illustrating how the nation's fiscal situation has been continually deteriorating since the mid-1960s. It is our goal--and Cato's ongoing commitment--that these reports help limit the unsustainable spending the federal government is undertaking and provide effective strategies for diminishing our government's dangerous fiscal instability.
