Fiscal Policy

The Federal Budget and Sequestration

On Topic

Congress and the White House continue to struggle over how to best reduce the federal deficit and were unable to come to a new agreement to avoid across-the-board sequestration, leading to reductions for most federal agencies. Brookings experts have a long history of analyzing the federal budget and providing recommendations for long-term fiscal responsibility.
