But what makes it worse, according to the Penn Wharton Budget Model, government spending has actually increased.
Kent Smetters, director of the model that tracks weekly Treasury data, told Politico that total spending climbed by 6.3 percent or $156 billion since President Donald Trump returned to office in January, compared to the first four months of 2024.
Even when accounting for inflation, the government still spent $81.2 billion more under Trump compared to the same period last year, Smetters added.
