Is U.S. deficit spending out of control?
*United Press International, March 11, 2010:
''Record budget deficit
The U.S. government in February spent $211 billion more than it took
in, setting a record budget deficit for a month.
The U.S. Treasury released data Wednesday saying figures from last
month indicate the federal government will probably pass the annual
deficit record of $1.4 trillion set in the last fiscal year.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told a House of
Representatives subcommittee the deficit spending is aiding economic
recovery efforts but also is 'unsustainably high.'
The current fiscal year is five months old and the government is
showing a budget deficit of $651.6 billion, nearly $53 billion more
than the same fiscal 2009 time period.''
