Government spending is the same as government outlays, and government earnings are the same as government revenue.

In recent years, the federal government has run a budget deficit. For the 2014 fiscal year, the projected U.S. budget balance is $3,000 billion − $3,627 billion = −$627 billion, that is, a budget deficit of $627 billion. In 2009, the U.S. government experienced its largest budget deficit ever, as the federal government spent $1.4 trillion more than it collected in taxes. This deficit was about 10% of the size of the U.S. GDP in 2009, making it by far the largest budget deficit relative to GDP since World War II.
