The sources

Every primary document this page cites, held by the Council.

Every figure on the National Page traces to one of these documents. They are kept here, not merely linked, because the government moves them: the same OMB tables have already relocated twice with changes of administration, and the old addresses are dead. The copies below are byte-identical to the originals as published.

Technical: OMB Historical Tables, FY2027 Budget edition, published 2026-04-03; cited to their GovInfo granule ids, which are GPO-authenticated and permanent. The FY2025 Financial Report of the U.S. Government is cited to Treasury rather than mirrored here — it is a 9.4 MB PDF, and holding it would sit in every future deploy. That is a named gap, not an oversight.
