Reported source values and clearly labeled comparisons. Nothing here turns aggregate receipts into a recipient flow.
Read the measures carefully
Same government. Different accounting views.
Receipts and outlays are period flows. Debt is a stock measured on a date. Borrowing from the public is shown in Treasury’s financing table, separate from receipts.
Treasury comparisons use its reported current and prior fiscal-year-to-date fields for the same cutoff. Displayed change equals current reported value minus prior reported value. USAspending agency budgetary resources, obligations, and outlays remain separately labeled.
Agency and department outlay lines do not establish a recipient relationship. Use the separate award explorer for selected USAspending award records, where obligations, outlays, and recipient-parent links are presented at record level.
