What is the Deficit? The federal government deficit is the current gap between the money brought in as revenue and the money going out as spending. The federal government debt is the cumulative amount of money borrowed. You probably have to incur debt to cover a deficit, but a deficit can be temporary while a debt may stick around for a while.
The terms national deficit and national surplus usually refer to the federal government budget balance from year to year, not the cumulative total. A deficit year increases the debt because more money is spent than is received; a surplus year decreases the debt because more money is received than spent.
