CBO Long Term Budget Outlook for 2022

In May 2022 the Congressional Budget Office released its annual Long Term Budget Outlook for 2022, which projects federal spending and revenue out to 2052.  As before, the CBO study shows that federal health-care programs and interest costs will eat the budget, with federal spending exceeding 25 percent GDP by the mid 2030s while federal revenue stays below 19 percent GDP.
