The Congressional Budget Office is a non-partisan government agency that publishes reports on both historical and projected government finances. A particularly useful document is the CBO Baseline, which projects the budget out ten years assuming current legislation is unchanged. The Government Accountability Office also publishes long-term projections using an alternative set of assumptions from the CBO. The Treasury Department publishes a Financial Report of the U.S. Government every December which includes estimates of the long-term costs of Medicare and Social Security. The Treasury also has a Debt-to-the-Penny application which offers the precise federal debt every day, and a net foreign holdings page which specifies how much we owe to each country. The Office of Management and Budget offers detailed information on the President's current budget, and historical information on past budgets.
The Committee for Responsible Federal Budget, the Tax Policy Center, The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, and The Concord Coalition offer useful analysis of issues that affect the nation's finances and economic future.
