BOMBSHELL: 8 month Budget Deficit Balloons to $739 Billion, UP 39% from last year, Despite Tariff Revenue By Sarah McGregor June 12, 2019, 11:00 AM MST Updated on June 12, 2019, 12:20 PM MST bloomberg.com The U.S. budget deficit widened to $738.6 billion in the first eight months of the fiscal year, a $206 billion increase from a year earlier, despite a revenue boost from President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported merchandise. The shortfall was 38.8% more than the same period a year ago, the Treasury Department said in its monthly budget review released on Wednesday. So far in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, a revenue increase of 2.3% hasn’t kept pace with a 9.3% rise in spending.
