For example, Table 1a assumes that the deficit is financed by a combination of higher taxes and lower spending. Table 1b assumes that the entire deficit is equivalent to an increase in taxes today. Table 1c assumes that the entire deficit is equivalent to a decrease in spending today. Table 1d assumes that the entire deficit is borne by future generations. Table 1e assumes that half of the deficit is borne by future generations and the other half by increased taxes and lower spending today. And Table 1f presents the results excluding payroll taxes and Medicare and Social Security spending.
