Tax collections are around 4.5 trillion dollars, expenditures at over 6 trillion dollars. In all levels of gpvernment.
The difference is covered with a 1.8 trillion sale of bonds. Payments on interest were 800 billion, so the net borrowing is around 1 trillion. Yes, the govt borrows to pay the interest and has never paid anything back in real terms. Borrowing is always higher than interest payments
