Step One: Select the state and the years you want to chart.
US or individual state:
US or State: By default, the chart shows overall United States government revenue. But you can select revenue for individual states by selecting the state dropdown control in the table heading.
Data units:
Start Year: End Year:
Note: First year of available data for individual states is 1992.
If you want to chart data for a single year, go to the Numbers page. If you want a pie chart, go to the Pie Chart page.

Step Three: Select the chart characteristics.
Bar chart or line chart:
Line/Bar: By default, the data series are displayed as line charts. But you can also select a bar chart.
Stacked chart (or not):
Data Stack: By default, the data series are “stacked” when displayed on the chart. But you can change the setting to “un stack” the data series.
Chart size:
Chart Size: By default, the chart is displayed at medium size. But you can use the dropdown control to change the size.
small = 300x200, thin = 350x230, medium = 390x250, large = 550x300
Color or black-and-white:
Color: By default charts are displayed with color data lines and fill. You can change this to grayscale if you want. Or display a chart using Google API or chart.js API.
Step Four: Display your chart.

Dont worry. You can add functions or change things later.
On March 27, 2025 the Congressional Budget Office released its annual Long Term Budget Outlook for 2025, which projects federal spending and revenue out to 2055. As before, the data for the CBO study shows that federal health-care programs and interest costs will eat the budget, with federal spending exceeding 25 percent GDP by the 2040s while federal revenue stays a little over 19 percent GDP.
UsGovernmentspending.com has updated its chart of the CBO Long Term Budget Outlook here. You can download the data and also view CBO Long Term Budget Outlooks going back to 1999.
