Where Does the Money Come From?
Source: Council for Economic Education (EconEdLink) | Type: Lesson
With very few exceptions, the U.S. federal government does not have an "income" to spend providing goods and services. The money used for federal spending programs must be collected as federal taxes, or it must be borrowed. This lesson provides information about the costs of government programs. This information is necessary if you are to make responsible decisions in your role as citizen.
