Fiscal Policy in the United States



Historically, the United States government has tended to spend more than it takes in, with national debt that was close to $1 billion at the beginning of the 20th century. The budget for most of the 20th century followed a pattern of deficits during wartime and economic crises, and surpluses during periods of peacetime economic expansion.
