From the article:
Until April, the government hadn't run a surplus since September 2008, which is just when the Wall Street collapse began to pound the economy and place heavy demands on the federal budget. Before that streak of 42 months, the government had never gone even a single year without recording at least one month of surplus for as far back as 1980
Funny, that month just happens to be April and this year, seems they moved some costs to outlying months and there just happened to be a 6% increase in tax revenue.
It's exactly the same as if you were borrowing half again as much as you made, just to meet your monthly bills. Except for Christmas, when your Christmas bonus along with your paycheck lets you skip a month without having to borrow more to make ends meet.
What a load of BS. Watch Obama try to turn this into an example of his plan working...
Wonder when it to will be revised?
I'm going to be sick. This will lead the news tomorrow, and stay on top for the next two weeks.
April 15 was income-tax deadline for God's sake.
