The U.S. Treasury Department took in a record
of approximately $2,446,920,000,000 in tax revenues through the first nine
months of fiscal 2015. Yes, that dollar figure is in “TRILLIONS.”
To put that mind-boggling figure into proper
perspective, that $2.4 trillion equates to approximately $16,451 for every
American, who had either a part- or full-time job in June 2015.
Despite the record tax revenues of
$2,446,920,000,000 in the first nine months of this fiscal year, the government
spent $2,760,301,000,000 during those nine months. Therefore, the government
still did not have enough money, because it ran up a deficit of $313,381,000,000
during this period. Unbelievable in that our government takes in over $2
trillion, and it still cannot balance its budget. Give me a break!
