As President Trump introduces his budgetary policies, the impact can be measured against this baseline forecast. For example, CBO forecast in April 2018 that the debt increase for the 2018-2027 period would be $11.7 trillion if laws in place as of April 2018 were continued into the future (i.e., CBO April 2018 current law baseline). This was an increase of $2.3 trillion or 24% from the January 2017 baseline forecast; changes were mainly due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. CBO also provided an alternate scenario in April 2018 assuming current policies continue, which assumed that individual income tax cuts scheduled to expire in 2025 would be extended. The debt addition forecast in the alternate scenario is $13.7 trillion, a $4.3 trillion or 45% increase versus the January 2017 baseline.
