Original Note:
This deficit cut was caused by planned expiration of emergency COVID spending & would be larger if not for new spending. The only highlighted legislation that passed the House would add $114B total over ten years; an avg annual increase of 0.08% of the current deficit. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/fact-check-president-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/#us-deficit-by-year https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/02/15/fact-sheet-the-congressional-republican-agenda-to-increase-the-debt-by-over-3-trillion/ https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2023-01/hr23_IRS.pdf
