The US National Budget

 


A (FY) Federal Budget (FY=Fiscal Year - meaning govt revenue/tax related and projected for the year. The actual budget will always exceed these figures).

In order to best understand the black budget and nuances of spending I suggest first reading:

(FY) Budgets are usually far too conservative to be adhered to, even a record $4.829 trillion federal budget proposal which was made for fiscal year (FY) 2021 on Feb. 5, 2020.1 The U.S. government estimates it will receive $3.863 trillion in revenue, creating a $966 billion deficit for Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2021. 

The Congressional Budget Office predicted that the COVID-19 pandemic would raise the FY 2021 deficit to $2.1 trillion. The FY 2020 deficit will be $3.7 trillion.

Spending

Government spending is broken down into three categories: 

  • Mandatory spending, budgeted at $2.966 trillion; 
  • Discretionary spending, forecasted to be $1.485 trillion; and 
  • Interest on the national debt, estimated to be $378 billion. 

Each category of spending has different subcategories. 

The DEFICIT is the shortfall.

2021 in a nutshell
  • President Trump’s budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 totals $4.829 trillion, eclipsing all other previous budgets.
  • Mandatory expenditures, such as Social Security, Medicare, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program account for over 50% of the budget, but much of this is considered profiteering by pharmaceutical companies or goes to Wall Street under the pretence of "good investment" but in reality these are all vultures after their piece of the pie.
  • For FY 2021, budget expenditures exceed federal revenues by $966 billion.
  • Most of these revenues come from taxes and earnings from QE.
  • Case in point:  Obama doubled the National debt with the 2008 bailouts. DOUBLED. There is no public shareholding in the banks for this even though its actually the taxpayer that is on the hook for the debt plus interests. Only bank shareholders enjoy the profit, but the banks lost pensions, properties and savings of ours won't be repaid to us. Take and debt is for the little people, the peasants, almost all of us.

Revenue


The federal government estimates it will receive $3.863 trillion in revenue in FY 2021. Most of the revenue is in the form of taxes, paid by taxpayers, either through income or payroll taxes. The estimate for each type of revenue is as follows:1

The IRS and Fed were set up in the same year. Income tax on wage earners was never paid before then on wages, only on Capital Gains tax. There is still no law requiring US citizens to pay income tax, it is voluntary, but the cabal in power is an illegal criminal organisation the controls all branches of govt and courts, they will coerce and threaten us into paint income tax to fund the world most oligarchical

  • Income taxes contribute $1.932 trillion or 50% of total receipts.
  • Social Security, Medicare, and other payroll taxes add $1.373 trillion or 36%.
  • Corporate taxes supply $284 billion or 7%.
  • Excise taxes and tariffs contribute $141 billion or 4%.
  • Earnings from the Federal Reserve's holdings add $71 billion or 2%. Those are interest payments on the U.S. Treasury debt the Fed acquired through quantitative easing.
  • Estate taxes and other miscellaneous revenue supply the remaining 1%.

The U.S. Treasury must pay the interest on behalf of the people the bondholders brokered by the banksters to avoid a U.S. debt default. A debt default by the U.S. has unknown consequences since it has never happened before. The USD is global reserve currency, if treasury bondholders lost faith in the USD backing them the dollar would plummet, and further issuence of bonds will be almost impossible with no market to purchase them (as it already is)

Mandatory Spending


Mandatory spending is estimated at $2.966 trillion in FY 2021. This category includes entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment compensation. It also includes welfare programs such as Medicaid.

Social Security will be the biggest expense, budgeted at $1.151 trillion. It's followed by Medicare at $722 billion and Medicaid at $448 billion.

Social Security costs are currently 100% covered by payroll taxes and interest on investments. Until 2010, there was more coming into the Social Security Trust Fund than being paid out. Thanks to its investments, the Trust Fund is still running a surplus, a meaningless token gesture designed to create a perception of responsibility against the Trillion's the government of the US caters for allowing crooks to plunder  your ney

The Trust Fund’s Board estimates that Social Security's surplus will be depleted by 2034.3 Social Security revenue, from payroll taxes and interest earned, in fact it will cover only 79% of the benefits promised to retirees, but that's a stretch, bank on half.

Medicare is already underfunded because taxes withheld for the program don't pay for all benefits. Congress must use tax dollars to pay for a portion of it. Medicaid is 100% funded by the general fund, also known as "America's Checkbook." This account is used to finance daily activities and long-term operations of the government.4

Discretionary Spending

The discretionary budget for 2021 is $1.485 trillion.1 More than half goes toward military spending, including Homeland Security, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other defense-related departments. The rest must pay for all other domestic programs. The largest of these programs are Health and Human Services, Education, and Housing and Urban Development.

There also is the Overseas Contingency Operations fund that pays for needless wars to enrich contractors and their investors, funding rogue states like Israel or continuing military actions. A growing portion of the discretionary budget is set aside for disaster relief such as hurricane and wildfire relief 

Military Spending

Military spending is included in the budget under discretionary spending. The biggest expense for the military is the Department of Defense base budget, estimated at $636 billion.1

Overseas Contingency Operations are estimated to cost approximately $69 billion but in reality are far, FAR higher. It pays for the war OF terror costs triggered by the false flag psyop 9/11 attacks. These include ongoing costs from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Military spending is at least $700 billion itincludes $228 billion for defense-related departments. These include, spying on citizens, arresting whilsteblowers and tracing and bugginging you. Also includes Homeland Security, the State Department, and Veterans Affairs.

All these military costs combined equal $705 billion.

The Deficit

The budget deficit is estimated at $966 billion. That's the difference between $3.863 trillion in revenue and $4.829 trillion in spending. This shortfall is added to the existing national debt.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected in April that the budget deficit for 2021 would be about $2.1 trillion, assuming no additional changes to spending and revenues. The difference between the CBO projection and the Trump budget can be attributed mainly to the impact of the coronavirus fake pandemic. The CBO expects the real GDP to decrease by about 12% in the second quarter of 2020 and for unemployment to average about 14%.5  *That figure is a posture, since it does NOT include those no longer looking for work or unemployed over 6 months 

Each president and their administration is credited or blamed with increases in national debt due to the budgets their administration proposes. The approval of the budget is delegated to Congress. In other words, it's not the president alone who bears the burden of deficit creation and national debt generation, he's the fall guy.—other elected officials do so as well  tiny bit by making marking he

How the Deficit Contributes to the National Debt


Each year, the deficit adds to the U.S. debt. To raise funds to cover the deficit, the government issues securities such as Treasury notes, which are purchased by many investors. Japan and China are two countries whose governments have purchased large amounts of U.S. debt, in a manner of speaking owning the U.S. debt.6

An anticipated budget deficit can slow economic growth. It influences rising interest rates, as investors demand more return. Eventually, investors may become hesitant to purchase Treasury notes because they fear the U.S. government may not be able to repay the debt.

Budget Process

Congress created the budget process in 1974. The process is supposed to follow four steps:

  • The Executive Office of Management and Budget prepares the budget.7
  • The president submits it to Congress on or before the first Monday in February.
  • Congress responds with spending appropriation bills that go to the president by June 30.
  • The president has 10 days to reply.

Congress has followed the budget process only twice since creating the FY 2010 budget. Since that time, the process and deadlines within it have been ignored, due to political disagreements, posturing, and government inefficiencies.

The hard deadline for budget approval is September 30. If Congress doesn't approve it by then, the government can shut down. It did just that in 2013, in January 2018, and in December 2018. To avoid shutdowns, Congress usually passes continuing resolutions.8

If the government does shut down, it signals a complete breakdown in the budget creation process, or an attempt to appear as such to distract voters.

Where did all the bailout money go that is causing all this inflation due to expanding the currency supply? Not to you or I, it went to rich companies.

Black Budget

The trillion dollar black budget is not covered here, but it must come from somewhere, I assert it is stolen from the American Taxpayer and the  victims of US wars of aggression where US funded rebels function as weapons transporters to the terrorists trained by black ops. Oil and Opium are just two examples of how off-budget dark programs get their funding.


Trump Is The Swamp, So He Won't Drain Himself (Part 1)


For those of you thinking Donald Trump plays 4-D chess and is always a step ahead of everyone, allow me to paint a different picture of a draft doger obsessed by the military , who would have squandered the millions his daddy left him if not for for his powerful connections. Connections who are at war with other powerful people. I don't mean Neocons and neoliberals, Neocons fleed the GOP and Joined the Neolibs at the Democratic Party when word on the street was Hillary Clinton was meant to win the election. Thats one ofvthe reasons Trump got so much heat, but with Neocons Bolton and Pompeo handling him now things should start gettingba little easier as long as he continues foreign coups.
High up Dems and GOP are more than ever lately two sides of the same coin on issues of monetary and foreign policy, I don't  mean them when I say powerful groups are at war, but rather entrenched deep state apparatus from the permanent security state zionist faction seeking to enforce US hegemony and the old money banking dynasties who have hedged with China and by all indications are at some point seeking to cast aside the USD once the Petrodoller is no longer defendable and introduce the IMFs SDR. But that comes much later. First the backstory.

In The 1950's CIA director Allan Dulles along with David Rockerfeller established a front company for laundering CIA and Mossad black ops money. Benignly named the Mary Carter Paint Company. Due to the amounts of money involved and so as not to blow their cover, they changed their name to Resorts International in 1963. That way they were positioning themselves under the capable leadership of CIA asset David Crosby (with the help of mob connections) for the casino trade in Atlantic City, the premier model for money laundering of off buget operations as developed by mafia. In 1987 Crosby died and RI's chairman, Mayer Lansky (a known Mossad asset) sought legitimate investment to replace Crosby's and found an up and coming property tycoon called Donald Trump, notorious for wanting a reputation and mob connections Trump bought up Crosby's controlling interest in Resorts International.

Trump followed strictly conditionalities of RI's chief financiers Tibor Rosenbaum and Baron Edmond De Rothschild by allowing the CIA to continue certain irregular financial practices and would later be rewarded for this. Trump was almost ruined and in massive debt after the 80's real estate crash shortly thereafter, at which time he came to the attention of Wilbur Ross of Rothschild Incorporated.

And

https://philosophyofmetrics.com/how-rothschild-inc-saved-donald-trump-freepom/

Trump speaks at length about these affairs in his book "The Art Of The Deal" and appears to relish these notorious connections and fancies himself some sort of debt king, rather than being ashamed of selling his soul to the devil.

Years later Ross would fund Trumps campaign... just because he's a nice guy.

And Trump would give him the position key for making policy changes that would later be required in the business, trade and energy sectors by the Rothschild shadow government now that they were in full control after orchestrating a strategic divestment of the Rockerfeller clan from oil to better synch aligned monoplies and establish Genie Energy, which by clever shareholder arrangement is Israeli owned.

For detailed information on Genie Energy please read my post "The Genie is out of the bottle".
http://dwahts.blogspot.co.za/2018/05/the-genie-is-out-of-bottle.html?m=1
Genie Oil, a subsidery which has Baron Jacob Rothschild, Dick Cheney and Rupert Murdoch sitting on its board, was granted exclusive prospecting rights in Syrias Golan Heights by a Israels PM Benjamin Nethanyahu. Bibi used to sleep in Trumps son-in-laws bedroom rather than the guest bedroom when he visited the US. One would imagine Jared Kushner would have slept elsewhere when that happened...

Israel the rogue state.


Let's get a few things straight upfront.
Anti-Israel is being against the state of Israel.
Anti-Zionism is being against the Jewish state based on destiny by virtue of divine providence.
Anti-semitism etymologically is hatred of all Semitic prople, including Arabs, Assyrians, Ethiopians and Jews. Colloquially, just Jews. The commonly accepted understanding has come to mean aversion to religious Jews even Israel's Ashkenazi Jews despite no genetic lineage to the Israelites of the Bible.
Anti-goverment of Israel (or simplyopposition, if in Israel) is being against the current Israeli government.

Not all Anti-goverment are Anti-Israel.
Not all Anti-Israel are Anti-Zionists.
Not all Anti-Zionists are Anti-semites.
All Anti-semites are racist.

Here is my more detailed position on the Issue because I won't be wasting any effort replying to the usual crowd who lack the intellectual fortitude to process this issue beyond the infantile chant of "anti-Semite". I will never be shut down by the PC police until I hear a persuasive argument. Up til now quite frankly those arguments don't impress me very much.

I want to draw your attention to an article written by Adam Garrie of Eurasian Future. You will find it in the recommended sites section in the WEB VERSION of this blog but not the Mobile for some reason.

It's a broadly cast and impressive synopsis of the Israeli chicanery in geopolitics and it's "wag the dog" relationship with the United States.

You can find it here. I am linking externally because rather than host it I'd like to push traffic to the site.  It's offers a wealth of refreshing angles and it's well researched. The regional nuances are well understood and it lends legitimacy to the term "Journalism".

A Trump Victory, Another Nail In The Globalist Establishments Coffin!

Get used to him...

Another major blow to establishment has just happened. The populists scored another victory over the elitist, the globalists, their puppets and political entrenched power. Populism is essentially pure democracy whichever way you slice it. The entire Obama presidency has just been repudiated. If the polls and the talking heads in media were to be believed, a Trump victory over the Wicked Witch of the West was nearly impossible, just as we were lead to believe similarly for #BrExit. In both cases I grew to believe it. It wasn't because I did not believe people had had enough, but rather because I thought that people would be persuaded otherwise.

The first surprise was BrExit as I wrote previously:

And now this surprise, a Trump win over Clinton. We have dodged a MAJOR bullet here. Don't get me wrong, I dislike Trump as much as anyone else but I won't be slut-shamed into being forced by the liberal Nazi's into forming a political decision based on pathetic political correctness issues, the mark of a small mind and a brain-washed sheep.

It's not about Trump, it's about any fresh approach not owned by the establishment, and if the the smaller independent parties don't get a fair shake I'd begrudgingly take my chances with an outsider in Trump over an Insider like Clinton anytime. Why don't we actually look at the issues and decide based on those what we can expect from Trump and how we can score him going forward?

GLOBALIZATION: The globalists and multinationals.
Outsourcing labor, manufacturing and jobs will be under the microscope with Trump, and the Clinton cronyism with their foundation and influence being an infamous globalist/oligarchy pillar. The Clinton Foundation, The Carnegie Foundation, the Open Society Foundation, the Council On Foreign Relations, the Tri-lateralists etc will all have something to think about as global meddling takes a back seat to the benefit of local industry.

The Economic Recession.
As any reader of this blog probably knows, I have always targeted the 2016 presidential election as the kick-off for events resembling some sort of financial collapse as the old globalist economy. I have no reason to change my view on this but how will Trump manage this without people blaming him? Will people understand this was always coming from well before Trump appeared on the scene? How will Trump handle the Fed?

War.
This is a question mark. Will Trump pander to Clintons backers from the Military Industrial Complex and Israel/Saudi Arabia and waste tragic amounts of money overthrowing governments like Libya, Syria and all the rest? Perhaps this is not certain but Trumps favorable perceived stance with Putin and his love for the bottom line suggest he will be much better in this department than Clinton who is an infamous warmonger.

The Media.
This should be fun. Trump is at war with the talking-head establishment media. This media functions as a mouthpiece and echo-chamber for special interests and Trump knows it. The battle here is not over, it's barely even begun!

The Pentagon.
Few people truly grasp how powerful the Pentagon really is and that Ash Carter essentially operates with impunity or accountability just like Rumsfeld did before him. I see Trumps ability to reign in the secretary of defense, whoever that may be, and the sprawling Military Industrial Complex with their powerful influence as the greatest challenge to his presidency.  The State Dept (the department of clowns) is basically just a PR office for the Pentagon. I wonder how much Trump could change this?

There are a lot of questions here, but at least things are shaken up from their stale and predictable path. We may have more extremes, more downs and more ups but mixing things up gives a small amount of hope at least for the people of the world who are engaged in a battle against the influential elite. I'll take it!



Michael Rosenblum Nails It.

How the NY Times Sees the news
This article via the link below by Michael Rosenblum (@Rosenblumtv on twitter) caught my attention more for it's commentary on American culture (or lack thereof) than for any call it makes on the elections. Nevertheless I think he could make a good case for his call on the outcome.  I feel differently, I feel Hillary will win, but only because the establishment  and their presstitute media will cheat, just like they did to cheat Ron Paul in 2012.

There can be no doubt Ron Paul was screwed in 2012

Regardless of the outcome of the election, this article is great commentary and it's about time somebody started making these links in changing tastes and their consequences
