The fiscal deficit is expected to increase by $25.9 billion from 2018 to 2027, and the budget deficit is expected to increase by $30.6 billion. And we reduced the off-budget deficit by $4.7 billion during that period. [Emphasis added]
Perhaps most importantly, the Walz-backed amnesty would increase taxpayer-funded higher education spending by $1 billion, increase earned income taxes and child tax credits by $5.5 billion, and increase Medicaid spending by $5 billion.
