U.S. government deficit down 17 percent from same period a year ago

Dec 10, 2021 4:36 PM EST 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. budget deficit totaled $356.4 billion in the first two months of the budget year, down 17% from the same period a year ago thanks to a sharp jump in government revenues that offset a smaller increase in spending. 

In its monthly budget report, the Treasury Department said Friday that the government’s deficit in October and November was $72.9 billion below the deficit in the same two months last year. The government’s budget year starts on Oct. 1. 

The improvement was due to government revenues rising at a faster pace than spending over the past two months. 

For the October-November period, tax revenues totaled $565.1 billion, 23.6% above revenues in the same period last year and a record for the first two months of the budget year.

So why 2 days before this load of shit was put out did congress have to Raise the debt ceiling by 2.5trillion bucks ? And why are they now saying it may not get us thrugh 2022 any more. 

Funny how the deficit is down but we needed 2.5 trillion extra to avoid a shut down .

Pencil sharpening and creative math.  Both sides do it for credit.  Dems are exceedingly deceptive at it.

He is too busy reading satire and posting it as fact rather than possible being faced with answering this.

Lol!  He never had any intention of answering any question to back his thoughts because, they aren’t his thoughts and therefore, he has no thoughts on them.  Just spewing his daily orders.
