川普成绩单:10月份财政赤字1005亿美元,比去年同期增长60%。止九月底,川普执政第一个财政年度赤字7790亿美元,为2012年最高水平。
The U.S. recorded a $100.5 billion budget deficit in October, an increase of about 60 percent from a year earlier, as spending grew twice as fast as revenue The deficit widened from $63.2 billion in the same month last year, the department said in an emailed statement on Tuesday. October marks the start of the U.S. fiscal year.
Receipts totaled $252.7 billion last month, up 7 percent from a year earlier, while outlays climbed 18 percent to $353.2 billion, according to the department. A ballooning U.S. budget shortfall - fueled by tax cuts, spending hikes and an aging population - is driving the Treasury Department to raise its long- term debt issuance. Waning support for U.S. government debt from the Fed, combined with President Donald Trump's deficit-boosting tax cuts, are weighing on the debt load that he inherited from Barack Obama. In Trump's first full fiscal year that ended in September, the budget gap grew to $779 billion, the highest level since 2012.
