Sorry my friend you are factually wrong. How can US have tax revenues when they have to get the stimulus package to keep the companies running?
So u r saying that companies that need to government support for its customer to keep them running can pay taxes on its own ?
Fact is usa is financing the losses of its enterprises by stimulus. Out of this stimulus some of that come back to the government in the form of taxes. However will these companiess still be able to pay taxes if these stimulus packages stops ? History of past 15 years shows the trend is otherwise. Infact the volume of packages are increasing fast and so is the debt to grd

you still dont understand the concept between debt and taxes. and yes, govt will still get taxes even if the companies needed stimulus. corporate tax comprises very little of the US govts taxes. as long as someone is exchanging hands. if someone even buys a toilet paper government will get a tax revenue.
No, stimulus doesnt finance US's enterprise thats not the job of the stimulus. the job of the stimulus is to increase spending and what you have is the treasury bonds graph.and debt isnt as simple as of they are at loss so they need debt. and most of the debt is held by US comapnies like retirement funds, mutual funds etc. and US doesnt go to countries and say he lend us money. they put out their treasuries in the market and countries/funds/companies come and buy it just like they buy gold because they like the interest treasuries pay and they know US is the safest country to invest in.
Funny thing is china also put out its treasuries in the market but could only sell $2 trillion. so govts used their bonds and treasuries as assets
Debt works 2 ways here.
1, US thinks the money they borrowed from foreign entities they can invest in their own country which will yield a higher return vs the interest you have to pay.
an example is you go to bank to take out a loan for the expansion of your business and you think the profit you will make on the business is going to be more than the interest you paid to your bank. and it happens your income starts going up so you ask bank for more money bank sees your income has grown so it lends you more money the cycle continues forever like that.
right now US collects 3.1 trillion in taxes. and about 3 trillion is loss from corporates moving to cayman islands.its a news here every day that apple dont pay taxes, amazon doesnt pay, google didnt pay etc etc. and US need only to tighten that leak to never have a deficit again
2- US purposely borrows debts from other countries to make them keep dollars as reserve which lowers the chances of displacing USD as the worlds reserve currency. if every country is holding their debt and reserve in treasury and the USD. it will be suicide for them to even think about replacing the USD as the reserve of the world.
