1960-2010
Being a larger time frame, it shows that with the passage of time the spending and revenue increased from a small amount to a larger amount. In 1960s, US was spending less, that might be because the industries were not developed and the revenue was also almost equal to the spending (Ghysels & Ozkan, 2015). But, in the yeae 2010 the spending shows a diverse increase and there is a deficit of 1.6% in the GDP.
1960-1969
In 1960, there was a 0.1% surplus in the spending and earning compared to the administrative average of -0.5%. But, by the year 1969, there were more earning and spending which goes upto 1% in total. By this time, US was increasing their net income and assisting the GDP which was at $464B (Ghysels & Ozkan, 2015).
1970-1979
In this time frame, there is a diverse increase in both spending and revenue. In 1970, the tax revenues are termed at $864B with $877B as spending, giving the country a negative affect as their income is not higher than their spendings (Elmendorf & Sheiner, 2017). While uptil 1979, this issue shows a good effect as the difference goes from negative to positive.
1980-1989
Still in this era, there is a slight difference in the spending and earning. However, there is a -2.6% deficit which makes the tax revenues even lower than the country’s spending. In 1989, the deficit moves upto -2.7% which shows a decline in the financial conditions (Elmendorf & Sheiner, 2017).
1990-1999
With the increase in time, 1990 shows even more bad results. The spending in this year was termed at $1,189-$1,560, creating a -3.7% deficit in their GDP. Due to increase in the industry of the country, these figures move upto 1.3% surplus GDP in 1999 (Gilpin et al., 2017).
2000-2010
In this era, the coutry tries to move to the better side of the GDP, as it increases to 2.3% surplus showing a more spending than the tax revenues in 2000. By 2010, there was again a -8.7% deficit in the financial conditions where the country is not earning that much compared to its liabilities (Harris & Johnston, 2017).
