Basic Data on Federal Finances
SHARE

The US government’s finances are in a dire state, with a looming deficit of $1.8 trillion projected for FY 2025. This chronic deficit problem has been exacerbated by the fact that 60% of federal spending is mandatory, including programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Additionally, interest payments on the public debt make up a significant portion of federal spending.

If Congress continues to follow the budget outlined in March 2024, outlays for FY 2025 are expected to reach $7.3 trillion, while forecasted receipts will only amount to $5.5 trillion. This imbalance between spending and revenue has been a persistent issue, leading to a federal debt predicted to reach $30 trillion by the end of FY 2025.

The public debt is a ticking time bomb that will require a fundamental reassessment of the federal government’s functions and scope. Without significant changes, large tax increases or default on the public debt may become unavoidable. It is crucial for politicians to address this issue and prioritize long-term financial stability over short-term gains.

The historical budget tables show that the US government has only run a surplus in five years since 1961, highlighting the chronic nature of the deficit problem. Both political parties have contributed to this issue, emphasizing the need for a bipartisan effort to address the growing debt.

Ultimately, the federal government must take decisive action to address its financial challenges and prevent a fiscal crisis. Failure to do so could have serious consequences for the economy and future generations. It is imperative that policymakers prioritize fiscal responsibility and make the necessary changes to put the country on a path towards financial sustainability.
