The 2022 Long-Term Budget Outlook

Congressional Budget Office

No 57971, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: Federal deficits are projected to nearly triple over the next 30 years, from 4 percent of GDP in 2022 to 11 percent in 2052. Such persistently growing deficits would cause federal debt held by the public, which is already high, to continue to rise even further. In CBO’s projections, such debt reaches 185 percent of GDP in 2052.
