    BTW, the deficit in February 2011 exceeded the deficit for the entire 2007 year.
    Mind-Boggling!

    In the sense of fairness, it should be pointed out that February is always a large deficit – it’s the month people who expect a tax refund file their income tax returns so the outflow massively exceeds the revenue.

    I wonder if Congress considers income tax refunds to be an “Expenditure” of tax revenue that has to be paid for with more taxes…. hmmm
