Need this every month



Saw this too

The total outlays for September were massively lower than July and August due to changes to the Department of Education!

@grok, analyze the posted graph and compare it to the month by month outlays for the last 10 fiscal years.


Chicken, make this feature happen

I cannot believe we saved $196BB! Incredible. Imagine what our grandchildren will be able to do with $195BB.

I think that has been accepted by most.

But, the economic chart showing red, was money sent to themselves, their friends and supporters.

This may be good news, but at the end of the day Trump and the Repubs are going to have to figure out the increase in energy bills with all the data farms screwing people over.

This is going to be legit seen by people, not these surpluses. Though I agree with the tariffs, the govt collecting them means it's coming from somewhere.

$30B in tariffs collected


Can you guys wrap your brains around the massive volumes of freight that would net $30B? It’s incredible to even imagine.

Wonder if it’s itemized per country.

One of those was when Trump was President. That was the first pandemic year. Then 2021 was the second pandemic year, and in 2022 they were spending like sailors trying to stimulate the economy.

This scares me. I already spend 250-300k a year on electricity on my farm. I’ve read these centers could triple electric rates. That would guarantee I go out of business along with everyone else in the catfish industry here

Keep in mind that September 15 is one of the 4 due dates for companies and individuals who pay quarterly estimated income taxes. So the receipts amount is skewed.

Notice your 4 highest receipts months on that graph are April, September, January, and June……which happen to be the 4 months where quarterly tax payments are due on the 15th
