The solid line connects real annual data through the current fiscal year; the dashed segment marks the direction of travel to 2036, not an official year-by-year path — CBO's report contains detailed annual figures for the years in between. OMB and CBO estimates can differ slightly due to different GDP benchmarks. General information, not financial or investment advice.
