After selecting options to reduce the deficit, the user returns to this screen to see how well they are doing. The line labeled "Your deficit path" shows the deficits resulting from the users policy choices. This data comprises government records extracted from the Archival Research Catalog (ARC).

See the ARC catalog entry for this series for more information on this data and how to order it.
