2 Key Concepts Role of Government: Mixed Capitalism 3 Levels of Government What is a budget? A plan for expenditures (outlays) and tax collections (revenues/receipts).

3 Budget Basics Balanced Budget: Outlays = Tax Receipts Budget Surplus: Tax Revenues EXCEED expenditures/outlays ● Budget Deficit: The Federal Government spends more than it collects in tax revenue. ● Fiscal Year vs. Calendar Year

4 How would you spend more than you had coming in each month? How does the Federal Government do it? We borrow. Go into debt. A lot of debt. Why? It’s fun to spend money. It’s even more fun to spend someone else’s money.

5 More Ideas on Excessive Spending Politics of Pork Economic Stimulus Waste and inefficiency Real solutions may involve too much hard work, tough love, and be politically incorrect. High standards of living increase the demand for public/social goods.
