The debt/GDP is always positive during this period, so the Federal Government of the United States incurred in budget deficits every year since 1939. From the mid-40s until the mid-70s, the debt/DGP was decreasing, meaning that the Federal Government of the United States was running a budget surplus every year during those three decades.
