These are the government's own accounting lines, not a judgment about them. Outlays include benefits, salaries, contracts, grants and interest together; a department's size is not a statement about need or efficiency. Debt finances past deficits and long-lived commitments; a daily change reflects auctions and redemptions as much as spending.
