Abstract:
The new budget and economic projections from the Congressional Budget Office confirm what thoughtful observers have said all year — the smaller deficit for this year does not mean the longer-term economic and budget outlook has significantly improved. Despite White House claims, CBO does not find that the President’s tax cuts “are working†to boost the economy and revenues and dramatically improve the budget outlook.
