Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


U.S. Income Security System

Needs Leadership, Policy,

And Effective Management



The costs of income security programs have
soared by 250 percent over the past 10 years,
making them the largest part of the Federal
budget. These programs come under constant
criticism for being too profuse, inequitable,
inefficient, difficult to manage, and discour-
aging individuals from   working. Taken
together, these multibillion dollar tax and
transfer programs affect every American's
present and future well-being. For these
reasons, GAO formed a task force to study
the income security system.


The income security system lacks overall
leadership. Because of the system's far
reaching social impacts, deeply rooted diffi
culties, and projected future cost growth, the
time has come to fill the leadership void and
bring about changes in its policymaking,
management, and evaluation. GAO believes
such changes can best be brought about
through an independent, national body, such
as a National Income Security Commission,
dedicated to helping the Congress and execu-
tive branch meet their program responsibil-
ities.
