"From 2025 to 2035, debt swells as increases in mandatory spending and interest costs outpace growth in revenues. Federal debt held by the public rises from 100 percent of GDP this year to 118 percent in 2035, surpassing its previous high of 106 percent of GDP in 1946," the CBO said in its Budget and Economic Outlook report for 2025 to 2035. Federal budget deficit is forecast to soar from $1.9 trillion in 2025 to $2.7 trillion by 2035, the CBO said, adding that "In 2035, the adjusted deficit equals 6.1 percent of GDP — significantly more than the 3.8 percent that deficits have averaged over the past 50 years." "In CBO's projections, economic growth cools from an estimated 2.3 percent in calendar year 2024 to 1.9 percent in 2025 and 1.8 percent in 2026 amid higher unemployment and lower inflation," the report read.
