Conference Agreement for H.R. 1 (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009)
Over the past week CBO has released a number of products related to the stimulus efforts in Congress. On Wednesday, CBO released a letter on the macroeconomic impacts of H.R. 1 that included year-by-year analysis of the economic effects of the stimulus legislation. (This analysis was based on an average of the effects of two versions of H.R. 1– as passed by the House and as passed by the Senate. The economic effects of those two bills were projected to be broadly similar). Today, CBO released a cost estimate of the conference agreement for H.R. 1, as posted on the Web site of the House Committee on Rules.
CBO estimates that enacting the conference agreement for H.R. 1 would increase federal budget deficits by $185 billion over the remaining months of fiscal year 2009, by $399 billion in 2010, by $134 billion in 2011, and by $787 billion over the 2009-2019 period (combining both spending and revenue effects). The table below summarizes the estimated budgetary impacts of the conference agreement legislation.
