US public companies are required to file an annual 10-K report with a summary of finances, key metrics, risk factors, and more. This report uses the 10-K format to cover these same topics for US federal, state, and local governments combined. It is intended to foster a more constructive and reasoned public debate by providing an authoritative and comprehensive set of data from government sources. USAFacts compiled the information, but it's up to you to judge whether government is efficient and effective.
