Reviews of FY2005 Federal Budget

by on

From the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities a fact sheet and a new report, Analysis of the President’s New Budget.

  • “Between 2000 and 2004, the budget declined by an amount equal to 6.6 percent of GDP, from a surplus of 2.4 percent of GDP to a deficit of 4.2 percent of GDP. This was the largest budgetary deterioration in U.S. peacetime history. The steep drop in revenues — which fell by an amount equal to 5.0 percent of GDP during this period — was responsible for 76 percent of this deterioration.”
