How the call settles
Official Treasury/CBO figures show the US federal budget deficit remains above 3% of GDP for every fiscal year through FY2028 (i.e., Bessent's 3%-of-GDP target is never reached)
Our reasoning
Pending. It will be judged only by this stored rule: Official Treasury/CBO figures show the US federal budget deficit remains above 3% of GDP for every fiscal year through FY2028 (i.e., Bessent's 3%-of-GDP target is never reached) Deadline or event: 2028-09-30.
