What is the national deficit?
A deficit occurs when the federal government’s spending exceeds its revenues. The federal government has spent $510 billion more than it has collected in fiscal year (FY) 2024, resulting in a national deficit.
$509,940,968,337

Compared to the national deficit of $421 billion for the same period last year (Oct 2022 - Dec 2022), our national deficit has increased by $89 billion.
