The World: US needs over $900B annually to restore pre-COVID debt – CBO

Last updated on September 11th, 2021 at 08:24 am

If the US needs to fix the nation’s debt to pre-coronavirus levels, it will require spending cuts and revenue increases totaling around $900 billion annually for 25 years, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said in a record released Monday.  

Based on its projections, the CBO found that if the US takes fiscal action beginning in 2025, large adjustments to spending and taxation would be required to stabilize the nation’s debt at the pre-pandemic level of 79% of gross home product (GDP) — the complete market fee of all completed goods and services produced domestically by using the country.

While reducing the federal debt increases the sources handy for non-public funding in capital items and services, lower deficits and debt would ultimately minimize costs and hobby rates, which would then enlarge the resources handy for personal investment, household consumption and exports, it said.

“If policymakers determined to reduce the deficit alternatively than later, the advantages would consist of a smaller amassed debt, smaller coverage modifications required to acquire long-term outcomes, and much less uncertainty about the anticipated changes,” the assertion said.
