The document summarizes lessons from Canadian fiscal reforms in the 1990s that could be applicable to the current state of the U.S. economy and government finances. It outlines how Canada faced large deficits and debt in the 1980s but was able to reduce spending, lower taxes, and decentralize government through reforms in the 1990s. This led to balanced budgets, reduced debt levels, lower taxes, and continued economic growth without negatively impacting services. Specific reforms around welfare and K-12 education created more innovative, affordable, and higher quality systems compared to the U.S.

Presentation by Ben Page, CBO's Fiscal Policy Studies Unit Chief, at the National Tax Association 108th Annual Conference on Taxation.
CBO’s long-term budget projections generally reflect current law and estimates of future economic conditions and demographic trends. Those projections depend on estimates of the future paths of mortality rates, productivity, interest rates, and health care costs, among many other variables. To illustrate some of the uncertainty about long-term budgetary outcomes, CBO constructed alternative projections showing what would happen to the budget if those factors differed from the values used in the extended baseline.

He will conclude with the implications for business and for learning and development, including suggestions for short- and long-term planning.
