16 What We Like in the President s Budget Abides by PAYGO by paying for all new initiatives Stabilizes the debt-to-gdp ratio Calls for business tax reform and Medicare reform Emphasizes pro-growth investments and includes policies to promote labor force participation 15

17 Our Concerns with the President s Budget Leaves debt levels at post-wwii record high levels Fails to put debt on a clear downward path relative to GDP Includes practically no reforms to Social Security, and insufficient health care savings Puts too little focus on long-term fiscal sustainability 16
