Original Note:
The Treasury Department explained that since March started on a weekend, $83 billion in benefit payments were shifted into February. Without this shift, the March deficit would have been $244bn, an increase of $24bn or 11% from a year earlier. There was no reduced spending. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-march-budget-deficit-falls-161-bln-customs-revenue-rises-2025-04-10/
