it doesn't matter how many coupons you take to the store it's the final bill that counts
The budget deficit for 2015 is expected to drop to roughly $425 billion, according to a report released Friday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
That’s down from the $486 billion the CBO projected in March.
If it drops to $425 billion by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, it would be a seven-year low for the government’s annual budget shortfalls.
Last year’s deficit was $483 billion, 2.1 percent of gross domestic product, the lowest level since 2008.
