U.S. public debt would balloon to twice the size of its economy in 25 years if current tax and spending policies are extended, Congress' budget referee said on Tuesday, delivering fresh fodder for a year-end budget brawl.
The Congressional Budget Office said in a new report that if tax cuts enacted under George W.
