U.S. Treasury Department's regular 12 monthly payments report shows the U.S. government in December 2010 had a deficit of 80 billion U.S. dollars, in line with expectations, down from last year's 91.41 billion U.S. dollars, the U.S. government for 27 months straight Budget deficit.
Size of the deficit in December and October 2010 is not the 1,404.3 billion dollars, and in November of 1,503.9 billion U.S. dollars. U.S. budget deficit narrowed in December, but the U.S. is still much larger than the income of government spending, making the country's already high debt levels are further increased.
