Options for Reducing the Deficit: 2014 to 2023

"This volume presents 103 options that would decrease federal spending or increase federal revenues over the next decade (see Table 1-1 on page 5).

The budgetary effects identified for most of the options span the 10 years from 2014 to 2023 (the period covered by CBO’s May 2013

baseline budget projections), although many of the options would have longer-term effects as well.."
