CBO: Federal deficits and debt to worsen over next decade

The Congressional Budget Office forecasts a $1.4 trillion deficit increase over 10 years, with debt rising to 120% of GDP due to spending on Social Security, Medicare, and debt service.

  • The Congressional Budget Office projects increasing federal deficits and debt over the next decade, largely driven by rising spending on Social Security, Medicare, and debt service payments.
  • Higher tariffs partially offset some deficit increases by raising federal revenue, but also lead to higher inflation from 2026 to 2029.
  • Rising debt and debt service crowds out government spending on areas like infrastructure and education that enable future economic growth.
