不减福利 就算把所有的其他支出全砍了 也就勉强能还债而已。
Here’s a clear comparison between U.S. government entitlement spending and U.S. government revenue—based on the most recent data from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and U.S. Treasury for Fiscal Year 2024 (projected) and recent years:
---
1. U.S. Government Revenue (FY 2024 Estimate)
Total federal revenue: $4.9 trillion
Individual income taxes: ~$2.4 trillion
Payroll (FICA) taxes: ~$1.6 trillion
Corporate income taxes: ~$420 billion
Excise, estate, customs duties, etc.: ~$480 billion
---
2. Entitlement Spending (Mandatory Spending)
Total mandatory spending (aka entitlements): ~$3.9 trillion Breakdown:
Social Security: ~$1.4 trillion
Medicare: ~$1.0 trillion
Medicaid & ACA subsidies: ~$800 billion
Other entitlements (e.g., SNAP, SSI, federal retirement): ~$700 billion
>
Note: Mandatory spending is about 80% of total federal revenue.

3. Discretionary Spending & Interest
In addition to entitlements, the government also spends on:
Discretionary spending (defense, education, etc.): ~$1.7 trillion
Net interest on debt: ~$1.0 trillion
---
Summary Comparison
Category Amount (FY 2024 est.)
Federal revenue $4.9 trillion
Entitlement spending $3.9 trillion
All federal spending ~$6.6 trillion
Budget deficit ~$1.7 trillion
---
Key Takeaways
Entitlements alone almost consume all federal revenue.
When you add defense, interest, and other discretionary programs, the U.S. runs a large deficit.
The rapid growth of Medicare, Social Security, and interest on debt is a major long-term fiscal concern.
