The federal debt is not lower today than it had been. Instead, it has not gone up as fast as it would have otherwise.

• The Congressional Budget Office’s latest projection shows that the deficit is about $1.7 trillion lower now than it was in 2021.

• However, this large decrease is because of an unusual historical circumstance — the expiration of large, temporary programs related to coronavirus pandemic relief. • During a Sept. 18 interview with CBS’"60 Minutes," President Joe Biden touted his administration’s efforts to rein in federal debt.
