It is what's happening. If you really want to focus so hard on "at the current time" the end of the shutdown is going to increase spending by around 20 percent without an equivalent revenue increase. But day to day, month to month, even year to year without impactiful policy changes are just swings around the trend. A swing up of revenue after the end of the recession is a blip compared to the long term trend. Until and unless entitlements are strongly reformed (and in such a way as to reduce future spending increases), the trend is still for government spending to grow faster than tax revenues.
