The Treasury released their monthly statement today. Not good. The deficit is running 17% higher than last year's was at this point in the fiscal year. Tax revenues are even lower than they were last year, and outlays are nearly unchanged.
Combine this with the jobs report that came out last week (and which contained some truly gruesome numbers relating to the labor force participation), and I'm wondering where all the supposed "green shoots" have gone.
