The government prominently collects money in form of taxes and it spends money in many ways such as defense, government jobs, aid programs such as EBT, and etc.
Therefore when the government runs a budget deficit they are spending more than they collect, more than likely effecting the national savings.

A deficit is caused when the amount of revenue taken in by a government is less than it spends on its programs. The difference becomes a debt in the form of loans against future revenue, usually promissory notes and bonds. When a city or state is in deficit, it usually requires curtailing public services or reducing public employment. However, the national government is less restricted in its spending because a deficit is covered by borrowing (Treasury Bills and bonds are normally used to finance interim spending anyway). The total of these loans is called the National Debt, and most of it is actually owed to investors in the US. When the US imports more than it exports, the difference is called the "balance of payments" deficit, which is potentially more important because it represents debts to foreign countries (e.g. China). *The US, as with most nations, has the ability to "create" money in the form of currency, and can regulate its debt through control of the money supply. This is usually not a permanent solution because it can decrease the value of the dollar.
A surplus.

When the government also runs the press the news may become more like propaganda for the government. They will never report negatively on themselves.
If the government runs into a deficit whatever the burden is will be passed on to the next generation. Public debt increases when the economy is in bad shape.
