What conclusion can be drawn from this graph?

From the graph, one can draw the conclusion that the federal budget is usually unbalanced.

The federal budget can be considered unbalanced because of the deficit that took place most of the time between the years 1980 and 2010 . A deficit occurs when the money spent (the yellow line) is greater than the money received (the blue line).

As shown in the graph, a balanced federal budget only occurred around the year 2000 when there was a surplus. A surplus occurs when the money received (the blue line), is greater than the money spent (the yellow line).
