CBO’s Role and Most Recent Long-Term Budget Projections
Presentation
Presentation by Molly Dahl, Chief of CBO’s Long-Term Analysis Unit, at a meeting of the National Conference of State Legislatures’ Budget Working Group.
The Congressional Budget Office was established to give the Congress a stronger role in budget matters. Each year, CBO 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. This presentation discusses both CBO’s role and its long-term projections.
