CHANGE IN FEDERAL REVENUE DUE TO MURRAY TAX PLAN, IN BILLIONS
Senator Patty Murray’s budget proposal assumes that federal revenue from taxes will increase by $155 billion each year for 10 years. However, when accounting for the dynamic effects of increased taxes on the economy, the annual average would be closer to $88 billion.
Dynamic modeling: $88 billion annual average
Murray budget assumption: $155 billion annual average
