The annual budget and historic data are updated every year. The historic numbers don't change just because there is a new POTUS who may be from a different political party - history doesn't change. Everyone should review the Tables and become familiar with them. There are some very interesting trends;
Revenues normally increase year over year - there are good explanations for variances from that trend
Expenditures also tend to increase year over year - major anomaly is the period following WWII
