根据对美国财政部每日财务报表的分析，自唐纳德·特朗普总统就职以来，尽管政府效率部做出了诸多努力，但联邦支出仍比去年同期乔·拜登总统执政期间增加了1540亿美元。
《华尔街日报》周五在审查了财政部报表后报道称，在科技亿万富翁、特朗普关键顾问埃隆·马斯克的领导下，政府效率部已通过削减合同、裁员和终止多元化项目等措施削减了1500亿美元，但这些举措尚未改变支出的底线。
加上税收和关税，政府收入有所增加，但尚未达到控制高支出的程度。
仅在上一财年，联邦政府支出就高达4.9万亿美元，占其总支出的73%，用于支付国债利息以及社会保障和医疗保险等强制性项目。
自特朗普今年1月就职以来，今年的社会保障支出比2024年同期高出327亿美元。
成本上涨是由于2.5%的生活成本调整已生效，以及去年有130万新受益人申请了福利。
特朗普承诺社会保障福利将保持不变。政府效率部表示，该机构一直在消除欺诈性索赔并裁员，以降低成本。
医疗保险和医疗补助的支出超过了去年的水平，自特朗普就职以来增加了约290亿美元。
这些项目支出的增长是由于医疗保健成本的攀升和参保人数的增加。
总体而言，社会保障、医疗保险和医疗补助占上个财政年度政府支出的约 43%。
Federal spending since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, despite the efforts of his Department of Government Efficiency, has climbed by $154 billion over the same period a year ago during then-President Joe Biden’s administration, according to an analysis of the Treasury Department’s daily financial statements.
DOGE, under the leadership of tech billionaire and key Trump adviser Elon Musk, has claimed cuts of $150 billion through cuts to contracts, jobs, and ending diversity programs, but those changes have not yet changed the bottom line on spending, reports The Wall Street Journal on Friday, after a review of the Treasury statements.
The government’s income, with taxes and tariffs, is up, but it has not risen to the point of controlling the higher spending.
In the last fiscal year alone, $4.9 trillion, which is 73% of the federal government’s spending, paid for interest on the national debt and for mandatory programs such as Social Security and Medicare.
This year, Social Security payments are $32.7 billion higher since Trump took office in January than they were at this time in 2024.
The higher costs come as a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment has gone into effect and because 1.3 million new beneficiaries signed up for benefits in the past year.
Trump has promised that Social Security benefits will stay untouched. DOGE says it has been eliminating fraudulent claims and cutting staff to pull back on the costs to the agency.
Medicare and Medicaid spending are outpacing last year’s levels, climbing by about $29 billion since Trump took office.
The programs’ growing spending comes as a result of climbing costs for healthcare and increasing enrollment.
Overall, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid resulted in roughly 43% of the government’s spending in the last fiscal year.
