Aside from periods of war or economic turmoil, the federal budget was actually in surplus for most of the nation's first 200 years. The government incurred considerable debt during the Civil War and the Spanish-American War but paid it off by the early 1900s. Between 1901 and 1916, the budget was almost always balanced.
