Via: Wall Street Journal:
The national debt and sustained federal budget deficits will hit
the highest levels since World War II over the next decade, the
Congressional Budget Office projected on Tuesday, following multiple
rounds of tax cuts and continued increases in federal spending.
The government will spend $1 trillion more than it collects
in 2020 and deficits will reach or exceed that threshold every year for
the foreseeable future. As a share of gross domestic product, the
deficit will be at least 4.3% every year through 2030. That would be the
longest stretch of budget deficits exceeding 4% of GDP over the past
century, according to the CBO, an nonpartisan arm of Congress.
