And all that money is to be used to fund our military pay checks thru the gov shutdown.
Thanks Dems... sticking it to all of us who were expecting those DOGE funds hitting our banks like promised. Instead, we get bent over by the d-bags in D.C.
Great post, but I wonder...I do not see where tariffs are added in, and most of the outlays column does not seem to include the 250 year old social security recipients that are fictional and eliminated or the huge number of federal employee terminated, or money not being given to terrorists, etc. I think your 200B is WAY short, but it going to be GREAT!!!
This is before Tariffs started kicking in. As for cuts in fraud etc, it wont actually show up as a column. It would simply reduce the relevant expenses and contribute to the surplus.
If you are interested you should download the numbers from Treasury and dig into it, bu comparing to the the numbers last year and figure out what expenses decreased and what income increased etc.
Presumably Net Interest covers the debt servicing. I guess we take out debt still, as the interest payment was higher than defense to my understanding... so making it net interest is only the amount of interest with new debt subtracted.
Do tariffs go into customs duties?
Also the formatting of this chart is crappy for the point he's trying to make - he should have scaled the items to be the same size per dollar to make it more apparent how large of a surplus this actually is.
More than 1/3 of revenue is not being spent- that's huge! As in the expenditures are only 63.6% of the income, and 35.4% is surplus!
I was gonna say that in my reply, but I was not sure if thats the case. It could also be excise taxes. But the amount of both is quite small.
You are right, the graph is crappy. I didn't even pay attention that the surplus is > 1/3 the revenues. I just assumed it was a small percentage by looking at the picture.
Here is the original document:

And future statements are published here:

If you look at the historical statements it's wild how often we do have surpluses though. So this is not as unusual as I expected...

I would guess customs/duties is the tariffs as last I had dug into them they were bringing in ~$30 billion a month (with wildly varying theories as to where that # would ultimately land).
I’ll be impressed when my husband doesn’t have to beg and plead for an appointment with the VA. Former service members are still being ignored and neglected as they suffer from the results of having given themselves to our country.
I'm guessing its because we have trillions in debt. Unless, thats all gone now?
If you dont celebrate the first step taking by a cripple, simply because he is still a cripple, he will never walk.
If you want to be a public servant, you should get funded from voluntary contributions.
Nothing else.
If youre worth something, we will contribute happily.
This whole budget for laziness is retarded.
This is the first I heard of it.
I'm guessing the MSM didnt mention it.
Strangely enough, monthly surpluses aren't unusual:

It has a lot to do with how taxes come in i think. Corporate taxes come in every quarter. IDK
I couldn't find any discernible pattern to it.
It'll be awesome though if Trump is able to put together a string of surpluses.
We were only taught economics and government for half-semesters in school. Keep in mind that we had to have tons of science courses on minute topics that aren't relevant to daily life.
Sure, it's good to know a bit about cells and genetics, but that's not going to help me nearly as much as knowing what financial decisions to make as an adult. It's not going to help me make money, and if I did decide to pursue science, I'd have to take the class again anyway.
