Where can I find historical and current data on the U.S. federal budget?
Answer
Take a look at the Budget of the United States Government (President's Budget).
Also, go to the Congressional Budget Office.
Use Bloomberg, available on select computers in the Business Library.
- Type BUDG and press <GO> for US Budget Trends and Budget Data from 1940 with projections to 2018.
- Click on Source Documents under Budget Data to get the current OMB budget, Historical Tables, and Analytical Perspectives.
