Government Spending

The Public Sector  The public sector includes local, state, and federal governments  The public sector is supported primarily through tax revenue  The private sector includes the small and large businesses that are privately owned.  Since the Great Depression the public sector has increased in size due primarily to increases in spending on social programs and the military.

Public Sector Goods and Services  The public sector provides a broad variety of goods and services.  Buildings, roads, and bridges are provided by all levels of government.  Firefighters and teachers are public sector workers.  The government has become a large employer for many different types of workers

Transfer Payments  The largest government program in the federal budget is Social Security.  Social Security is a transfer payments.  The government collects employee and employer contributions each month through the FICA payroll tax.  When contributors reach old age, they draw a pension from the Social Security fund.  Depending on how long they live, they may draw out more or less than they contributed.

Mandatory Spending  About two thirds of the federal budget is mandatory spending.  Mandatory spending are items that must be funded, without annual approval from Congress.  These programs include: Social Security, Medicare, and the interest owed on the debt.  In recent decades there has been concern that increases in mandatory spending are eating too much of the federal budget.

Discretionary Spending  About one third of the federal budget is comprised of discretionary spending.  Discretionary spending includes all the programs which Congress may decide to increase or decrease annually.  These programs are numerous and include military spending, as well as health, education, environmental protection etc.

The Budget Process  The fiscal year starts October 1 st  The President establishes a general budget for taxes and spending, submitting it Congress in February.  The House of Representatives may change the budget priorities by submitting an appropriations bill.  This bill must be approved by the Senate and signed by the President, as well.

Budget Deficits and Surpluses  The national budget may be balanced, meaning that the tax revenue proposed equals the money spent on government programs.  However, if the budget contains more spending than tax revenues, a budget surplus will occur.  If the budget contains more revenue than spending, it has a surplus.  In the late 1990’s the US ran s surplus, since that time it has had deficits each year.

The National Debt  The budget deficit records shortfall in revenue for a single year.  The National Debt is the accumulation of all deficits.  The US government may borrow money from Americans, banks, or foreign governments to pay for its shortfall.  The government must pay back the interest and the principle borrowed.

Crowding Out Effect  Some economists argue that borrowing is necessary, especially during a recession or depression.  The government can uses borrowed money to spend, getting people back to work.  Other economists warn that government borrowing crowds out private borrowing, leading to higher interest rates.  Higher interest rates make it difficult for private citizens and businesses to borrow
