The federal government faces an unsustainable long-term fiscal path based on an imbalance between federal revenue and spending, primarilydriven by health care spending and net interest on the debt.1 Addressing this imbalance will require long-term changes to both spending and revenue and difficult fiscal policy decisions. Significant action to mitigate this imbalance must be taken soon to minimize the disruption toindividuals and the economy.
