Oversight Task Force Releases Report: “Looking at the Numbers: Biden’s Big Government”

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the House Budget Committee’s Oversight Task Force, chaired by Rep. Jack Bergman (R-MI), released a report, “Looking at the Numbers: Biden’s Big Government,” contextualizing how much the Federal government’s spending habits have grown in just three short years.  

Key Facts:

• Since taking office, President Biden “has overseen over $11 trillion in spending – more than $1.5 trillion of which has been done unilaterally through various executive actions and rulemaking, marking a clear circumvention of Congress.”

• Within that same time period, “projected ten-year outlays have increased from $61.2 trillion to $80.1 trillion, an increase of $18.9 trillion or 30.8 percent. This translates to a 10 percent jump in outlays as percent of GDP.”

• These increases are particularly evident at the Department level - compared to January 2021:
• Projected ten-year outlays for the Environmental Protection Agency have increased 163.9 percent.
• Projected ten-year outlays for the Department of Commerce have increased 136.2 percent.
• Projected ten-year outlays for the Department of Treasury have increased 87.2 percent.
