That was never calculated into the budget because nobody knew about it when the budget was approved. The gap between what is paid to Uncle Sam in taxes, and what is spent on the various gov't activities, well, we're spending more than what's coming in.

No American business (or American family) could ever operate this way. We can only spend it if we make it first, but not Uncle Sam!
