Data is now available for the period 1945-2023. You can see our Agency Debt page <a href="http://www.usgovernmentdebt.us/agency_debt">here</a>, and a comparison with the official "on-the-books" debt <a href="http://www.usgovernmentdebt.us/agency_debt_history">here</a>.<br /><br />For the period 2024 to 2029 usgovernmentspending.com has "guesstimated" the agency debt, assuming that it increases at the same rate as it did in 2022 to 2023.<br /><br />See "<a href="http://usgovernmentspending.blogspot.com/2015/09/federal-agency-debt-added.html">Federal 'Agency Debt' Added</a>" for explanation of data derivation.<br /><br />Data is downloaded from the <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/datadownload/Choose.aspx?rel=Z1">FRB data download page</a> for "Financial Accounts of the United States (Z.1)" as follows.<br /></p><ol><li>Select a preformatted data package: "L.211 (A) Agency- and GSE-Backed Securities, n.s.a."</li><li>Click: Format package.</li><li>Select: 100 years.</li><li>Click: Go to Download.</li><li>Click: Download File.</li></ol>Christopher Chantrillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04115398168797134843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8157443782264773982.post-84473526223541368122024-01-20T11:25:00.000-08:002024-01-20T11:25:30.068-08:00US GDP for 2023 Updated<p>On January 19, 2024 usgovernmentspending.com updated its GDP series with the latest data from the <a href="http://www.bea.gov/data/gdp/gross-domestic-product">Bureau of Economic Analysis</a>, under "Supplemental Information and Data" including nominal US GDP for third quarter 2023 of $25.464 trillion and real US GDP for third quarter 2023 of $20.015 trillion in 2017 dollars. Real GDP is now expressed in 2017 dollars.</p><p>Up to now, usgovernmentspending.com has shown GDP for calendar years. But the OMB forecast for US GDP in Table 10.1 - Gross Domestic Product and Deflators Used in the Historical Tables uses GDP for the US federal government's fiscal year that ends every year on September 30.

Here are the numbers, including total receipts, total outlays, and deficit compared with the numbers projected in the FY 2024 federal budget published in February 2023:</p><table><tbody><tr><th colspan="4">Federal Finances<br />FY 2023 Outcomes</th></tr><tr><td></td><td align="right">Budget<br />billions</td><td align="right">Outcome<br />billions</td></tr><tr><td>Receipts </td><td align="right">$4,802</td><td align="right"><b>$<span style="text-align: left;">4,439</span></b></td></tr><tr><td>Outlays</td><td align="right">$6,371</td><td align="right"><b>$6,134</b></td></tr><tr><td>Deficit</td><td align="right">$1,569</td><td align="right"><b>$1,675</b></td></tr></tbody></table><p>usgovernmentspending.com now shows the new numbers for total FY 2022 total outlays and receipts on its <a href="http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/federal_budget_estimate_vs_actual">Estimate vs. Actual</a> page.<br /><br />The Monthly Treasury Statement includes "Table 4: Receipts of the United States Government, September 2022 and Other Periods." This table of receipts by source is used for usgovernmentspending.com to post details of federal receipt actuals for FY 2022.<br /><br />This MTS report on FY 2023 actuals is a problem for usgovernmentspending.com because this site uses Historical Table 3.2--Outlays by Function and Subfunction from the <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/budget">Budget of the United States</a> as its basic source for federal <b>subfunction</b> outlays. But the Monthly Treasury Statement only includes "Table 9. Summary of Receipts by Source, and Outlays by <b>Function</b> of the U.S. Government, September 2023 and Other Periods". <b>Subfunction</b> amounts don't get reported until the FY25 budget in February 2024. Until then usgovernmentspending.com estimates actual outlays by "<b>subfunction</b>" for FY 2023 by factoring <b>subfunction</b> budgeted amounts for FY23 by the ratio between relevant actual and budgeted "<b>function</b>" amounts where actual outlays by <b>subfunction</b> cannot be gleaned from the Monthly Treasury Statement.</p><div>Final detailed FY 2023 actuals will not appear on usgovernmentspending.com until the FY 2025 federal budget is published in February 2024 with the actual outlays for FY 2023 in Historical Table 3.2--Outlays by Function and Subfunction.</div>Christopher Chantrillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04115398168797134843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8157443782264773982.post-62550795412532950882023-10-21T16:18:00.000-07:002023-12-12T06:58:02.915-08:00State FY23 Taxes Update<p>On October 21, 2023 usgovernmentspending.com updated FY2023 state revenue with quarterly tax data released by the <a href="https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/qtax/data/tables.html">US Census Bureau</a> on September 11, 2023.

Previously state spending and revenue for FY2020 were actual, and local spending and revenue were estimated. The following table shows the difference between estimated and actual local spending and revenue for FY2020:<br /></p><table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><tbody><tr><td>FY 2020</td><td>Estimated<br />$ billion</td><td>Actual<br />$ billion</td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td>Local Spending</td><td align="right">$2,069</td><td align="right">$2,129</td></tr><tr><td>Local Revenue</td><td align="right">$1,443</td><td align="right">$1,488</td></tr></tbody></table><p>We have updated the "guesstimated" state and local finances for FY2021-27 as indicated in our "<a href="http://usgovernmentspending.blogspot.com/search/label/guesstimate">guesstimate</a>" blog entries.<br /><br />We have also updated data for individual local government units with data for 2020. But, the Census Bureau has changed the codes for all the local government units, starting in 2018, and it will take a while to provide multi-year charts.</p>Christopher Chantrillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04115398168797134843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8157443782264773982.post-52573075732913695212022-06-04T19:54:00.001-07:002022-06-04T19:55:28.573-07:00Medicare/Social Security 2022 Trustee Reports Released<p>On June 2, 2022, the Center for Medicare Services released its annual <a href="http://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Statistics-Trends-and-Reports/ReportsTrustFunds/index.html">Medicare Trustees Report</a>, which projects Medicare spending out to 2095.
