Baseline Federal Budget - as a Percentage of GDP
The Graph of the Week is the Congressional Budget Office's Baseline Budget Projections as a percentage of GDP, which can be found in the 2009 Budget and Economic Outlook Update. From the update:
CBO has also updated its baseline projections for the coming decade. In accordance with long-standing procedures, CBO’s projections assume that current laws and policies remain in place. The resulting baseline is therefore not intended to be a prediction of future budgetary outcomes; rather, it serves as a benchmark that lawmakers can use to measure the effects of spending or revenue proposals.
You can find the CBO document here. NABE's Macro Links page has links to the CBO as well as other federal and non-governmental agencies that report macroeconomic statistics.
