That is some high level pilpul...

The US collects 26% of GDP in taxes and increases debt by 7% annually (the 26% of GDP collected in other words covers just over 3/4 of the costs...).

That means direct taxation and federal spending amounts to 33% of GDP, with state debt excluded as well as mandatory fees to the government or state.
Things like permit costs, everything labelled "fee", import tolls (aka tariffs) and so on are not included here, nor is mandatory health insurance... since it is private, but forced on workers by the state and a state protected oligopoly.

In terms of numbers, the US government collects and spends 9.6 trillion muttbux directly, while the total GDP is 29 trillion.
