Confronting the Nation’s Fiscal Policy Challenges
Winner Description:
U.S. Congressional Budget Office. 2011. Online. SuDoc# Y 10.2:P 75/9.
Winner Blurb:
The so-called Super Committee created by the Budget Control Act of 2011 was charged with formulating a bipartisan recommendation for dealing with budget challenges created by an aging population, the rising cost of health care, and declining revenues. On November 21, 2011, the committee acknowledged that it had failed to reach consensus regarding legislation; however, it did release this document, which outlines its research findings and its budget predictions. Written for nonspecialists, it presents a dire outlook if voters are unable to overcome their partisanship.
