CBO-Monthly Budget Review: January 2022
February 8, 2022--Summary
The federal budget deficit was $259 billion in the first four months of fiscal year 2022, the Congressional Budget Office estimates. That amount is less than deficits recorded for the same period in the two prior years.
It is roughly one-third of the deficit recorded during the same period last year ($736 billion) and about two-thirds of the shortfall recorded for the same period two years ago ($389 billion), right before the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Revenues were $331 billion (or 28 percent) higher and outlays were $146 billion (or 8 percent) lower from October through January 2022 than during the same period last fiscal year.

Deloitte Report: Inaction on Climate Change Could Cost the US Economy $14.5 Trillion by 2070
January 25, 2022--The U.S. economy could gain $3 trillion over the next 50 years if it accelerates towards a path of low-emissions growth
A new report released today from the Deloitte Economics Institute shows that the United States economy could gain $3 trillion if it rapidly decarbonizes over the next 50 years. This once-in-a-generation transformation could add nearly 1 million more jobs to the US economy by 2070, according to the report,"The Turning Point: A new economic climate in the United States.".
"The Deloitte Economics Institute Turning Point report makes the case for another industrial revolution in the U.S.-one built on low-emissions growth-to avoid significant losses from the climate crisis and to create a more dynamic, prosperous economy for the U.S.," said Alicia Rose, Deputy CEO for Deloitte US. "The analysis shows that the battle to slow climate change is not only an aspirational goal, but an economic imperative for the U.S."
If global warming reaches around 3°C toward the century's end, Deloitte's analysis indicates that economic damages would grow and compound, affecting every industry and region in the country.
