    Wow, I got it right. I thought HHS or DOD, and picked HHS. Although I am not sure since I never worked in the accounting section of a government agency, I do not think it is like doing a quarterly statement in a civilian company, where profit is required for survival. The federal government can make money appear and disappear with the wave of a magic wand.

    The problem ISN'T the budget. It is the trillions spent off-budget including the "black" budget.

    I believe HHS budget includes Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. As such, expect this trend to continue for a long, long time.

    Medicare and Medicaid come under HHS, but not Soc Security.

    Correct! The SS Administration administers the two Medi budgets but they are separate budgets.

    Off Topic....

    ... but, I couldn't help myself. When you wrote the title - Federal Budget - I immediately thought: one big MESS.:laugh:

    Note it doesn't include money invented by the Fed.
