Understanding the chart

The chart shows three data series from the Congressional Budget Office Budget & Economic Outlook documents for 2009 (forecasts) and 2016 (actual).

  • CBO January 2009 baseline, which assumed the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 would expire in 2010, along with other smaller tax cut expiration.[1] Sum of deficits: $3.7 trillion.
  • CBO January 2009 baseline adjusted, assuming the tax cuts would not expire. This data necessary to construct this series is provided in an alternate CBO scenario available in the supplemental data spreadsheets supporting the CBO report. Add the effects of the Bush tax cut extension and other tax cut extensions to the baseline series to derive this series. Sum of deficits: $5.7 trillion.
  • Actual deficits reported by the CBO for 2009-2016. The 2016 deficit statistic is from the CBO Monthly Budget Outlook for October 2016. Sum of deficits: $7.3 trillion
