2018 Long-term budget outlook

"In CBO’s projections, federal budget deficits grow substantially over the next several years in relation to the size of the economy, stabilize for a few years, and then grow again over the rest of the 30-year period. If current laws generally remained unchanged, the growing deficits would raise federal debt held by the public from 78 percent of gross domestic product this year to nearly 100 percent by the end of the next decade and 152 percent by 2048."

The Congressional Budget Office, tasked with making sure Congress has all the facts they need to legislate properly, is as nonpartisan a group of experts as you'll ever find.
