CBO has released deficit numbers for the first two months of the fiscal year. Spending is up and so are receipts:
The federal budget deficit was $283 billion for the first two months of fiscal year 2011, CBO estimates in its latest Monthly Budget Review, $14 billion less than the shortfall recorded through November of last year. Outlays and revenues alike are higher than they were last year at this time, by about 2 percent and 9 percent, respectively.
