Original Note:
The US government is not funded by revenue in and of itself. The US government is most accurately described as self-funding. It needs a certain amount of revenue not so that it can repurpose that revenue as spending, but so that its dollars spent have value. https://www.levyinstitute.org/publications/can-taxes-and-bonds-finance-government-spending
