Regardless of the variant, the budgetary pictureis a bright one. Between 2001 and 2010, accumulatedsurpluses are projected to total $3.2 trillion under theinflated baseline and $4.2 trillion under the freeze orcapped baseline. On-budget surpluses (which excludethe spending and revenues of Social Security and thePostal Service) total more than $800 billion under theinflated baseline and $1.9 trillion under the other twobaselines.

And then along came Scrub...
The primary publication released by the [Congressional Budget Office](https://www.cbo.gov/taxonomy/term/1584/ ... =2&page=27) in January 2009 is [The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2009 to 2019](https://www.cbo.gov/publication/41753). Released several weeks early to aid the incoming 111th Congress, this baseline report was heavily shaped by the ongoing Great Recession and the initial fallout of the 2008 financial crisis. [1, 2]
## Key Focus Areas of January 2009 Reports *
* Record Deficits: Projecting a baseline federal budget deficit of $1.2 trillion (8.6% of GDP) for fiscal year 2009. This marked a post-World War II record high, calculated before accounting for the eventual American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulus package. [2, 3]
* Economic Projections: Forecasting a sharp 2.2% drop in real GDP for calendar year 2009, severe contractions in housing starts, and an easing of core inflation due to falling energy prices. [3, 4]
* TARP Monitoring: Issuing statutory oversight data, including the January 16, 2009, Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) report, evaluating federal equity investments and market risk. [4, 5]
The net NEGATIVE fiscal swing attributable to your two votes for Scrub is in the vicinity of
15 trillion.
