Consists primarily of
benefit programs for
which laws set eligibility
rules and benefit formulas
Consists of spending that
lawmakers control through
annual appropriation acts
Consists of the government’s
interest payments on debt held by

Funds collected from the public

Deficit in 2013 as a

Debt held by the

Net Interest Revenues
The federal budget deficit grew during the 2008–2009 recession and began to shrink soon
afterward. However, at $680 billion, it was still larger in 2013 than in 2008. As a percentage of
gross domestic product (GDP), the deficit in 2013 was also larger than the average of the past
40 years.
Federal outlays amounted to 20.8% of GDP in 2013, slightly higher than the 40-year average.
Revenues were 16.7% of GDP, the highest percentage since 2008 but still below the 40-year
average.
The large budget deficits recorded in recent years substantially increased federal debt, and the
amount of debt relative to the size of the economy is now very high by historical standards. In 2013,
federal debt reached 72% of GDP, the highest level in more than 60 years. Such debt could have
serious negative consequences, including restraining long-term economic growth, giving
policymakers less flexibility to respond to unexpected challenges, and eventually increasing the risk
of a fiscal crisis.

Infographic: The Federal Budget in 2013

  • 1. The FEDERAL BUDGET IN 2013 CATEGORIES of the BUDGET DEFICITS and the DEBT Mandatory Spending Consists primarily of benefit programs for which laws set eligibility rules and benefit formulas Consists of spending that lawmakers control through annual appropriation acts Consists of the government’s interest payments on debt held by the public, offset by interest income the government receives Funds collected from the public that arise from the government’s exercise of its sovereign powers Deficit in 2013 as a percentage of GDP Debt held by the public as a percentage of GDP, on average, over the past 40 years Net Interest Revenues The federal budget deficit grew during the 2008–2009 recession and began to shrink soon afterward. However, at $680 billion, it was still larger in 2013 than in 2008. As a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), the deficit in 2013 was also larger than the average of the past 40 years. Federal outlays amounted to 20.8% of GDP in 2013, slightly higher than the 40-year average. Revenues were 16.7% of GDP, the highest percentage since 2008 but still below the 40-year average. The large budget deficits recorded in recent years substantially increased federal debt, and the amount of debt relative to the size of the economy is now very high by historical standards. In 2013, federal debt reached 72% of GDP, the highest level in more than 60 years. Such debt could have serious negative consequences, including restraining long-term economic growth, giving policymakers less flexibility to respond to unexpected challenges, and eventually increasing the risk of a fiscal crisis.
