Current Cost Footprint
USAspending's FY2026 Q3 top-tier record, code 020, reports budget authority of $4.71T, obligations of $1.47T, and outlays of $1.47T. The USAspending footprint includes very large financing, tax expenditure, interest, and transfer accounts; operating reform should distinguish those from IRS, Fiscal Service, and bureau administration. Treat USAspending values as spending-system scale, not audited operating cost. Agency records can include benefits, trust funds, financing accounts, offsetting collections, and transfer flows.
