The federal budget for 2007 was 2.8 trillion dollars.

we have been asked to find

how much money did the government spend per second?

First we will find the number of seconds in one year

Number of seconds in 1 year$=365*24*60*60=31536000$ Seconds

Now we will dive the amount by the total number of seconds, we get

$\frac{2,800,000,000,000}{31536000} =88787.41755 dollar$

Hence the government is spending approximately 88787 dollars per second.
