Listed in Harvard Dataverse
The commission created and maintained this computer application to simulate and forecast Federal budget reduction strategies.
Description
This series consists of a computer program in Lotus 1-2-3 that provides the user with the opportunity to create a Federal budget deficit reduction package for the United States. The challenge is to reduce the deficit from $177 billion in 1989 to zero in 1993.
The user begins by choosing an option from the menu at the top of the computer screen. For example, selec ting the "OUTLAYS_INDEX" option takes the user to a list of government programs. From there the user goes to a list of options for each government program.

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.
