What is the difference between PAYGO and CUTGO?
What will be an ideal response?
PAYGO stands for pay-as-you-go, and CUTGO stands for cut-as-you-go. Under PAYGO, Congress and the president could only cut taxes or increase entitlement spending if they also offset these with tax increases or cuts to other entitlement programs. It was fairly effective at reducing the deficit and even led to a brief surplus. In contrast, CUTGO focuses only on cuts to entitlement programs, and exempts tax cuts; that is, taxes can be cut without being offsets for the lost revenue.
