In this thread I want to give you an idea just how insane the current government spending is and how far we drifted away from any sustainable fiscal spending. This is all based on reported numbers and there are no assumptions/forecasts. In the current fiscal year, the government already spent $4,159 billion. This is for the first 7 months and the fiscal year ends in September. The latest available data is as of April. The already accrued deficit amounts to over $1 trillion: $1,049 billion. You can see in the chart how net interest expense has become the #2 largest spending category at $579 billion (for 7 months) after social security ($907 billion) and even exceeded national defense ($536 billion), health ($555 billion), and Medicare ($550 billion). The deficit is 34% of total receipts! (1049/3110) In other words: the government spent 34% more than it took in. - X user AJ
