Whilst I agree that external moneyed interests control the US government to a large degree via the aforementioned mechanisms, this is not what people refer to when they say Deep State.
Deep State refers to government employees who hold a lot of power e.g. heads of alphabet agencies, their close underlings, etc and wield it in such a way that there's little recourse for the average American.
Both these moneyed interests AND the Deep State exert an influence that citizens should seek to regulate.
