Congressional Budget Office

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) prepares nonpartisan analysis for the U.S. Congress.   The CBO was founded in 1974 and the purpose of the CBO is to produce independent analysis of budgetary and economic issues to support the Congressional budget process.  The CBO is well known for objectivity and quality work.

Reports and projections are available to the public on the CBO website.  The most recent CBO Blog post is a response to questions they received regarding the automatic reductions in government spending (sequestration) that went into effect on March 1st. 

The CBO website is easy to navigate and offers clear and in-depth analysis of the U.S. budget.
