CBO Long Term Budget Outlook for 2025
On March 27, 2025 the Congressional Budget Office released its annual Long Term Budget Outlook for 2025, which projects federal spending and revenue out to 2055. As before, the data for the CBO study shows that federal health-care programs and interest costs will eat the budget, with federal spending exceeding 25 percent GDP by the 2040s while federal revenue stays a little over 19 percent GDP.
UsGovernmentspending.com has updated its chart of the CBO Long Term Budget Outlook here. You can download the data and also view CBO Long Term Budget Outlooks going back to 1999.
