How would requiring debt-to-GDP and deficit-to-GDP ratios in budget documents change the way Congress and the public evaluate fiscal policy decisions?
- 02
What specific actions or constraints should follow if these ratios exceed certain thresholds, or does the bill rely solely on transparency to influence spending behavior?
