Four distinguished authorities examine the implications of the Budget Enforcement Act for federal budget policy. They discuss economic and political aspects of the 1990 budget compromise between the Congress and the White House, assess how the agreement affected the economy and the deficit, and analyze what different types of measurement can tell us about the fiscal health of the country.
Marvin H. Kosters is a resident scholar at AEI.
