America’s public debt is projected to rise to record levels over the next three decades, according to a new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis, which noted that the government’s finances have improved a bit thanks to the GOP-led debt ceiling deal but overall remain “challenging.”

The new forecast, released on Wednesday by the non-partisan spending scorekeeper, extends over a 30-year period the CBO’s earlier 10-year estimate of the effects of the debt ceiling legislation that President Joe Biden signed into law on June 3.
