Automatic Stabilizers in the Federal Budget: 2022 to 2032

Congressional Budget Office

No 58495, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: Federal revenues and outlays regularly respond to cyclical movements in the economy in ways that tend to offset those movements; the budget mechanisms that drive that process are known as automatic stabilizers. Those mechanisms, which help stabilize the economy automatically, also contribute to short-run fluctuations in the deficit, without any legislated changes in tax or spending policies.
