Description

Identifies federal programs, agencies, offices, and initiatives -- either within departments or governmentwide -- that have duplicative goals or activities. The annual simulations of the federal government's fiscal outlook show continually increasing levels of debt that are unsustainable over time, absent changes in the federal government's current fiscal policies. This testimony addresses two key issues: (1) federal programs or functional areas where unnecessary duplication, overlap, or fragmentation exists, the actions needed to address such conditions, and the potential financial and other benefits of doing so; and (2) other opportunities for potential cost savings or enhanced revenues. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand publication.
