Data Notes & Reality Check
Baseline: This single-file MVP uses simplified FY2026 buckets based around public CBO-style headline totals: about $7.4T outlays, $5.6T revenue, and a roughly $1.8T–$1.9T deficit. Debt held by the public is modeled at about $30.3T, roughly 101% of GDP.
What the sliders mean: A spending slider at -10% means that category spends 10% less than baseline every projected year. A revenue slider at +10% means that category raises 10% more revenue every projected year. The projection compounds baseline spending/revenue growth and applies a simple interest feedback estimate.
Not official scoring: Real fiscal scoring depends on timing, phase-ins, economic behavior, legal constraints, interest rates, interactions, and political feasibility. Translation: this is a very useful sandbox, not a Congressional Budget Office replacement wearing a fake mustache.
