# Interviewing data – U.S. Federal budget from 2000 – 2016; NASA

## Introducing the Dataset
The Congressional Budget Office’s data on US Federal Budget from 2000-2016 shows the U.S. federal government’s revenue source, and where it spends its money. All the data are numerical and are chronological.

##Major finding
**Social security seems to be having funding trouble**
Surplus on of social security has been declining since 2008, while its mandatory outlay is steadily growing and remains the biggest expenditure amongst mandatory outlays. With an aging population, the outlay will further increase while the surplus will not significantly increase.
The trend is corroborated by [CBO’s report](mailto:https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52298) saying that the Social Security Trust Fund could be insolvent at 2029 if it pays out at the current rate, and when that happens, benefits would have to take a 29 percent cut in 2030 to keep it from going.
