(OT) 326 Billion
Deficit balloons to $326.6 billion By Jeannine Aversa July 13, 2004 | WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government's deficit ballooned to $326.6 billion in the first nine months of the 2004 budget year, according to a snapshot of U.S. balance sheets released Tuesday. That's more than 20 percent larger than the $269.7 billion shortfall for the corresponding period last year. For the current budget year which began Oct. 1, this spending has totaled $1.73 trillion, 6.4 percent more than the same period a year ago. Revenues came to $1.40 trillion, 3.5 percent more than the previous year. Who wants to be the first to step up and pay their share? |
