Accuracy of CBO’s Baseline Projections

CBO periodically reports to the Congress on the accuracy of its baseline projections for spending, revenues, and the deficit by comparing those data with actual outcomes.

Reports to the Congress on CBO’s Work

Since 1975, CBO has produced nonpartisan analyses of budgetary and economic issues in support of the Congress. CBO regularly reports to the Congress on its work, which includes hundreds of formal cost estimates, 10-year and longer-term budget and economic projections, and a large body of analyses and publications each year.
