Certain transactions for goods and services have been double-counted owing to the method of accounting for these transactions at the standard and economic object levels. Prior to 1987, about $4 billion in expenditures and revenues were double-counted annually at the standard object level in government-wide summary information. This represented a significant portion of the total discretionary expenditures of the government.
