US annual revenues haven’t changed much... hovering around $2.5 t* (a quick google shows the revenue jumped to $3.0t for 2014... my back of the napkin was off a tad)

Your revenue number was off by $500 billion.

Your spending number was off by about $500 billion.

please, in the future, do your own homework. especially for things that are this simple.

Feel free to post the proof that the deficit was closer to your $1.5 trillion claim than the ~$484 billion deficit at the link I provided.

Then I'll apologize for pointing out your bad numbers.

yes, i alreayd admitted my $2.5t was off ... as it just bumped last year to $3t due to the deflated dollar

of course, my point still stands... and my math is right where OPs math is WAY off.

OP stated fedgov spending was $61k a year, $9k over the total revenue of $52k, or 17% over revenue.

if this were true, annual spending would only be $3.5t (using the updated number) instead of the more accurate $4t
