The Government's Long-Term Fiscal Shortfall: How Much is Attributable to Social Security?
Description:
One reason that Social Security reform is on the congressional agenda is the large
projected long-term fiscal shortfall facing Social Security, estimated at an average of
0.9% of gross domestic product (GDP) between now and 2080. But relatively little
attention has been given to the potential long-term shortfall faced by the rest of the
government, which is estimated to be more than 6.5 times larger than Social Security’s
shortfall
