The United States government currently does not have a balanced budget.
As quoted from "US Tax Revenue & Deficit" (found at http://goo.gl/JQbOk; also see other sources in the References section below):
"The US Government spends $121,067 per second...Of the total money shown above, the US Government borrows $52,162 each second..."
Our government needs to create a balanced budget in order to provide for the prosperity of its people, to demonstrate a positive example of budgeting to the world, and to alleviate the negative repercussions of debt.
