Notes:Gross Outlays are actual expenditures of the US Treasury and/or the Federal Reserve Board to assist institutions during the financial crisis of 2008. For instance, under TARP the US government injected capital into big financial institutions to bolster their balance sheets. Net Outlays are actual expenditures of the US Treasury and/or the Federal Reserve Board less the amounts repayed by the recipients since the financial crisis of 2008. Guarantees are undertakings by US Treasury and/or the Federal Reserve Board to provide assistance during the financial crisis if needed. For instance the Federal Reserve Board asserted that it would guarantee $5.5 trillion in money market funds without actually lending any money to anyone. | |||

State and Local Finances for 2024 -- First Look
On July 2, 2026 we updated the state and local spending and revenue for FY 2024 using the new Census Bureau State and Local Government Finances "first look"summaries for FY 2024 released in April 2026. (See also Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances). The release includes state and local spending for the United States as a whole. It does not include the 50 individual states and the District of Columbia.
State and local spending and revenue for FY2024 are now actual historical spending as reported by the Census Bureau.
We have updated the "guesstimated" state and local finances for FY2025-31 as indicated in our "guesstimate" blog entries.
Beginning in 2021, the Census Bureau stopped splitting "Public welfare" into three parts:
- Cash assistance payments
- Vendor payments
- Other public welfare
