That’s slightly better than the 4.8 percent growth to $403.6 billion that the agency estimates for full-year 2005.

U.S. spending growth will increase moderately over the next two years, per the forecast, climbing 5 percent next year to $174.8 billion and by an additional 4-plus percent in 2007 to $182.4
