The federal budget deficit for the fiscal year 2009 was approximately $1.4 trillion. This marked one of the largest deficits in U.S. history, primarily driven by the economic recession and increased government spending aimed at stimulating the economy. The deficit was a result of falling tax revenues coupled with rising expenditures, including bailouts and stimulus measures.
