2025 federal deficit (fiscal year ended 9/30/25) was $1.8T. Down by $0.03T!!!
And if you want to go back, 2023 was $1.7T, 2022 was $1.4T. If you want to look at the heart of the pandemic, 2021 was $2.8T, and 2020 was $3.1T.
So at least compared to the pandemic, things are looking up!

They have fired everybody whose numbers they didn't like....so it's pretty much a guessing game from here on out.
