In other words they are bringing in around 7 billion a day and spending 10.6 billion a day...borrowing 3.6 billion per day.

It's outrageous

Nope, your number of 2.9 trillion is income tax and social security only.

If you look at the 5.5 trillion number it includes other taxes and fees. Notice no sales tax?

I know we run a deficit, only your numbers are off, not mine.
