Each year, CBO releases a set of four budget infographics that provide a detailed look at the past fiscal year as well as broader trends over the past few decades. Today, CBO published the latest infographics showing the federal budget results in fiscal year 2019.
These infographics help people understand how much the government spends and takes in each year and what programs and revenue sources account for the largest portions of those budgetary flows.
You can view the infographics for 2019 below, including an interactive version of the one about the overall federal budget:
- The Federal Budget in 2019
- Mandatory Spending in 2019
- Discretionary Spending in 2019
- Revenues in 2019
