to answer your question: the Federal govt spends on average over 24 hours 9.8 billion.
The big difference is that govt spending doesn’t expand or grow as does private or consumer spending, often it constricts by taking money out of in demand gods and services: e.g. spend a few billion implementing fed govt regulations and it doesn’t translate into more jobs beyond the govt workers, spend the same billions in consumer and it does, the baker buys flour , the farmer hires truckers etc but you knew all that
To Conservatives, Limited Government is a necessary Evil.
To Liberals, Oppressive Government is just the beginning.
God help us when the Democrats regain Both Houses of Congress and the Presidency.
