Presentation by Molly Dahl, CBO’s Long-Term Analysis Unit Chief, at the American Enterprise Institute’s panel discussion “Methodologies in Fiscal, Economic, and Health Spending Projections.”
Each year, the Congressional Budget Office provides the Congress with its projections of what the federal budget and the economy would look like over the next 30 years if current laws generally remained unchanged. Those projections show the estimated effects of demographic trends, economic developments, and health care costs on federal spending, revenues, deficits, and debt over the next 30 years.
