The "Gubmint Shutdown" has begun... What Departments are Open... Which are Closed?

Any new income offsets the deficit. It was over 2 trillion
The US annual budget deficit for the fiscal year 2025 was $1.78 trillion, with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reporting a slightly different, rolling 12-month deficit of $1.74 trillion between November 2024 and October 2025. This deficit resulted from revenues of $5.2 trillion and outlays of $7.0 trillion.

That is not what I find.

What I find is that our "deficit" is indeed approximately $1.8 Trillion. So your number and my number seem to be close enough. That is our ANNUAL DEFICIT for this year.

But the income from the Trump Tariffs is much lower annually. Tariff income is projected to be between $300 and $500 Billion.

LONG TERM it is possible that the tariffs could equal a cumulative total of $1.8 Trillion for 10 years.

But the deficit is $1.8 Trillion for THIS YEAR alone!

• Year-to-date (through September 2025): Approximately $215 billion in total tariff revenue, with September alone contributing over $31 billion. Earlier estimates through August put it at $213.3 billion, while projections for the full calendar year suggest around $300–500 billion annually, depending on implementation and economic effects.

• Fiscal Year 2025 (October 2024–September 2025) impact: Customs duties rose by about $22 billion compared to FY 2024, helping offset other revenue declines. Long-term projections estimate $2.4 trillion over the next decade (conventional scoring), though dynamic effects (e.g., reduced GDP growth) could lower this to $1.8 trillion.

Now a private group, ironically named CASA, is suing to expose the NGO/Charity groups that were coordinating with, and partially funded by the Biden Administration, plus additional funding from NGOs, to try to follow not only the money but also the authority to see what was illegal.

All of the evidence collected in these various suits can be used in the RICO cases, so these cases exposing EITHER financial connections or organizational coordination of efforts, goes a long way into establishing a criminal crime conspiracy.

The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) has filed a lawsuit against the government to secure records that would expose the millions of American taxpayer dollars that went to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to resettle migrants across the United States under former President Joe Biden, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.​

​

“CASA filed this lawsuit to provide maximum transparency to the Biden administration’s outrageous giveaway of millions of taxpayer dollars to non-governmental organizations that facilitated illegal immigration,” CASA Director James Fitzpatrick told Breitbart News in a statement.​

​

The lawsuit seeks Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) records for fiscal years 2023 and 2024 regarding the agency’s grants to NGOs for the sole purpose of resettling migrants, apprehended at the southern border, in American communities.​

​

The records, the lawsuit states, would show the total taxpayer funds that went to such NGOs to assist migrants with housing costs, school costs, medical treatments, and legal services, among other benefits.​

​

CASA executives told Breitbart News that in Fiscal Year 2022, for instance, NGOs secured $6.4 billion in American taxpayer dollars to offer such benefits to migrants caught at the border.​

​

“The release of these documents is in the public interest because it will provide increased transparency to understand the [HHS’s] decisions and communications regarding federal funds provided to non-governmental entities,” the lawsuit states.​

​

As Breitbart News detailed throughout the Biden years, the administration sent millions of dollars in taxpayer money every quarter to NGOs and sanctuary jurisdictions that vowed to help resettle migrants in American communities.​

​

Fitzpatrick said the American people ought to have such records to better understand what exactly the Biden administration did over the course of four years.​

​

“The American public deserves to know every organization that received these funds so they can see for themselves the extremes the Biden administration went to to ensure government money went to as many organizations as possible who facilitated, promoted, and furthered Biden’s pursuit for a reckless open border,” Fitzpatrick said.​

​

The case is CASA v. HHS in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.​
