More striking is the CBO’s projection that the deficit will continue to decline rapidly, reaching just 2.1% of GDP in 2015, before rising gradually to just 3.5% of GDP in 2023, the end of the CBO’s official forecast period. That path of deficits implies that the government debt/GDP ratio will remain at about the current level of 75% for the next ten years.
更令人瞩目的是CBO预测赤字将持续快速减少，2015年将减至GDP的2.1%，此后会逐渐上升，到2023年（CBO正式预测期的期末）将占GDP的3.5%。预算变化路径意味着未来十年的政府债务/GDP比率将维持在75%左右。
