The $432 billion deficit last month was near a monthly record but it seems as though much of that spending was pulled forward from August as the latest month shows a nice bounce.
- Fiscal Year to date deficit at $1.966 trillion verus $1.973 trillion a year ago
- Outlates $527 billion vs $689 billion a year ago
- Receipts $360 billion vs $344 billion a year ago
- Net cutoms receipts of $12.836 billion
This number could tad some of the pressure of Treasuries but the month-to-month numbers are tough to get a read on because spending shifts around.
