Original Note:
The cause of the $1.7T budget reduction was the expiration of emergency COVID spending as planned & would’ve been larger if not for additional spending. The Congressional Budget Office estimates a $1.4T deficit in 2023. This is greater than 2022 instead of $1T less. 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.cbo.gov/publication/58946#:~:text=In%20this%20report%2C%20the%20Congressional,over%20the%202024%E2%80%932033%20period
