Paygo

(redirected from Pay Go)

Paygo

In the United States, the practice of the federal government not to authorize increased spending or tax cuts without offsetting it by decreasing spending or raising taxes in some other place. That is, under paygo, all legislation and spending must be revenue neutral. The intent behind paygo is to encourage responsible spending by the federal government. It was in place between 1990 and 2002, and in 2007 and 2008 and was again implemented in 2010. See also: Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010.
