Deficits

It's absolutely the inevitable.
Federal spending programs that are "designed to transfer income ... to individuals or families" are set to hit a record $3,223,943,000,000 in fiscal 2020, according to projections published by the Office of Management and Budget.
These so-called "payments for individuals" (as the OMB calls them) are projected to account for 67.9% of all federal spending this fiscal year and consume 14.4% of the nation's gross domestic product.
In 1940, the federal government spent only 2.1% of GDP on "payments for individuals." As a percentage of GDP, these payments peaked in fiscal 2010 at 15.5%.
When the projected debt total for the end of this fiscal year ($24,057,463,000,000) is compared to the debt at the close of previous fiscal years (after they have been adjusted into constant September 2019 dollars using the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator), it, too, is a record.
The people who run our government are truly record setters — when it comes to taking money from one group and giving it to another.
That includes taking money from future generations and spending it on their own.

$3.643 trillion revenue. That leaves only 423 billion for the rest of the entirety of the government without going more into debt. Which we will to the tune of another trillion fucking dollars!
Don;t ask me.
