The Congressional Budget Office issued (another) grim forecast today regarding the long-term outlook of the federal budget. According to a new CBO report, U.S. public debt is set to exceed 100 percent of GDP in 2021, and reach 200 percent of GDP in 2037 if nothing is done to change its current trajectory, a significantly worse projection than was issued in last year’s CBO report.
