What is budget surplus? how we can measure it? effects of government on this? A budgetary deficit is the amount of expenses the government exceed the income in a particular year. A deficit exists when the public expenses are superior to the taxes. A surplus exists when all the taxes (and other income) are superior to the public cost. The primary target of financing the central government deficit is to provide total noninflationary use, to balance the economy, not the budget. It does not matter if this persistent objective causes surplus or a great and increasing national debt. With this philosophy, the problems of the governmental deficit or the surplus are of smaller importance compared with the undesirable alternatives of prolonged recessions or constant inflation. The national budget is a designed instrument mainly to reach and to maintain the macroeconomic stability. The best way to finance the cost of the government (by means of taxes or indebtedness) depends on the existing economic conditions. The government does not have to doubt in incurring any deficit or surplus that is required to reach the macroeconomic stability and the growth. ----- It is measured by ratios: deficit (surplus) / GDP and usually compared with the growth of the economy and the growth of the national debt Source(s): Financiamiento del Deficit by Aldo Martinez (me) Revenue $ - expense $ = + $ (surplus) or - $ (deficit) We measure it by counting the dollars that come in and subtract the dollars that are spent, same way all other budgets are measured. What do you mean by "effects of government?" The "government" is "we, the people" (in the US). Government agencies theoretically are doing what we want them to do, as expressed by the representatives we elect. Budget surplus is excess of income over expense. You can find that out from the budget. |
