1/ Federal spending doesn’t work like a household budget. The U.S. government doesn’t rely on tax revenue to spend—it creates dollars when it authorizes payments.

Those net dollars remain in private hands—as savings, investments, or spending power. The government’s deficit equals the non-government sector’s surplus.

The federal deficit is simply the difference between dollars spent (added) and dollars taxed (removed). It’s an accounting result, not a debt owed.

The key question isn’t the size of the federal deficit, but where those net dollars flow. Who benefits? That’s where policy choices matter most. Does the average American households benefit the MOST or does it only benefit the top 1% of wealthy Americans

That deficit represents net dollars added to the economy in a given year. Not all money created by spending is later taxed away.

Where do those tax dollars go? The Treasury doesn’t “store” them—they’re effectively retired from the system, reducing the total money supply.

Taxes reduce the money supply. When you pay federal taxes, dollars are deducted from your account and removed from circulation.

When the government pays for programs (like Social Security), it instructs banks to credit accounts. Those payments add new dollars to the economy.
