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.

Have a budget surplus
the govt spends more than they have
to protect national security an increase in the real exchange rate of the dollar
If the federal government runs an annual budget deficit, it means that its expenditures exceed its revenues for that year. To finance this deficit, the government may borrow money, leading to an increase in national debt. Over time, persistent deficits can result in higher interest rates and reduced public investment, potentially slowing economic growth. Additionally, if deficits are perceived as unsustainable, it could undermine investor confidence and affect the country's credit rating.

When a government runs a budget deficit, it must eventually take measures to pay back its debt, which can include increasing taxes, cutting public spending, or a combination of both. Additionally, it may seek to stimulate economic growth to boost revenue or refinance existing debt to manage payments more effectively. Ultimately, maintaining fiscal responsibility is crucial to ensure long-term economic stability.
Countries run trade deficits by selling assets to or borrowing from foreign countries. A trade deficit happens when a country has a negative balance of trade.
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.
The U.S. federal government's fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30 of the following year. This budget process includes proposing, reviewing, and enacting spending and revenue plans to guide government operations and priorities. The President submits a budget proposal to Congress, which then debates and modifies it before passing the final budget.
A surplus.
