Washington, Aug. 20 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. government unexpectedly posted a budget surplus for July as Democratic lawmakers ready for a battle with President George W. Bush over the impact of tax cuts on Social Security and spending.

The $2.5 billion excess of receipts over expenditures reported by the Treasury for last month contrasts with the $1 billion shortfall analysts had expected. A booming economy led the government to post an unusual $5.1 billion surplus in the previous July, a month in which deficits have been typical.
