<u>Government Income: </u>

<u><em>Government revenues in the United States have steadily increased from </em></u><u><em>7 percent </em></u><u><em>of GDP in </em></u><u><em>1902 </em></u><u><em>to more than </em></u><u><em>35 percent today</em></u>.

<u><em> Government revenues began </em></u><u><em>at the beginning of the 20th century with 7 percent </em></u><u><em>of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)</em></u>.

For the rest of the<u> 1920s</u>, government revenues remained at around <u>11 to 12 percent </u>of GDP, but tax increases at the "low point" of <u><em>the Great Depression</em></u> increased government by <u>18.9 percent in 1933</u> and <u>20 percent in 1938</u> just after the recession of 1937. The trend was clear; the tax power moved from the local level to the state and federal governments.

<u><em> In World War II</em></u>, the government's tax collection increased again, reaching a maximum of <u>30 percent of GDP in 1945</u>.

<u><em>After World War II</em></u>, government revenues initially decreased, but then began a slow increase, peaking at <u>32 percent of GDP</u> in the recession year of <u>1982</u> and <u>33.2 percent of GDP in the year of the recession of 2001</u>.


<u> Government Expenses: </u>

<u><em> Government spending in the United States has steadily increased from </em></u><u><em>7 percent</em></u><u><em> of GDP in </em></u><em>1902</em><u><em> to almost </em></u><u><em>40 percent today</em></u>.

<u><em> Public spending began at the beginning of the 20th</em></u> century at <u>6.9 percent of the Gross Domestic Product</u> (GDP). Then it had a great momentum <u><em>in World War I</em></u> and ended at around <u>12 percent</u> of GDP in the <u>1920s</u>. Then came <u><em>the Great Depression,</em></u> and total government spending increased to <u>20 percent</u> of GDP. Public spending peaked at just under <u>52 percent</u> of GDP in <u>1945</u>.

<u><em> Although spending was again reduced</em></u> to <u>21 percent </u>of GDP immediately <u>after World War II</u>, <u><em>it continued to rise steadily </em></u>until it reached <u>a peak of 35 percent</u> of GDP in the lowest part of the <u>1980-82</u> recession.

<u><em>Thereafter</em></u>, <u>government spending increased</u> in the mid-30s until the collapse of the mortgage of 2008. <u><em>After the bank and car rescues</em></u>, government spending increased to levels of war with <u>41 percent of GDP</u>. The emergence of the mortgage seems to have increased the expense of one year. <u>Government spending in the short term in the future is linked to 36 percent of GDP</u>.
