Ask about the budget

Ask about the deficit, a tax or spending proposal, or a score on this site. The assistant can run the calculator, read CBO's baseline and a set of curated sources, and search a short list of official sites, and it cites what it uses.

Answers come from an AI model and can be wrong; follow the citations before relying on one. The assistant's scores are the calculator's own estimates, not CBO's or JCT's. There is a daily limit per visitor and a daily budget for the whole site. Questions are sent to Anthropic to answer and are not stored by this site.
