The Congressional Budget Office has released its estimate for the fiscal year 2012, just ended on September 30 and the news is good. The federal deficit was just under $1.1 trillion, compared to just under $1.3 trillion at the end of fiscal year 2011, a reduction of $207 billion. As a percentage of the GDP, the 2012 deficit dropped to 7.0 per cent, down from 8.7 percent in 2011 and 9.0 percent in 2010. The actual deficit numbers will be released later this month by the Treasury Department
The September 2012 numbers show an increase in receipts of about $23 billion, or 9% higher than the same period a year ago and a decrease of $115 billion in spending.

And? WTF does that mess of a chart mean?

1. The OP indicates that the CBO estimates a ~$1.1 trillion deficit, while the chart you posted a bit later indicates a $1.327 trillion deficit.
2. Another factor that needs to be considered in any talk on deficits is the real rate of return of the bonds the government is issuing (treasury rates less inflation). For months, the real rate of return has been negative -- apparently investors think losing a little bit in a predictable fashion is the safest move -- and thus several hundred billion dollars in the "deficit" this year actually represent free money for the Government. Deficit numbers won't capture this fact; fiscally 2012 is thus better for the USG than the surface numbers let on.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. There is a stalemate in DC, so deficit comes down a little, well because nothing is getting passed or money spent. Is it a good or bad thing, depends on which prism you view it from

240, do you understand the difference in the deficit and our debt?
Also remember that Obama has had a Republican controlled House for a while now that was voted in to put a stop to the crazy spending.
