Original Note:
The recorded June surplus was due to accounting adjustments and doesn't reflect an actual surplus. "The Treasury Department noted that the month benefited from calendar adjustments, without which the deficit would have been $70 billion." https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/11/treasury-posts-unexpected-surplus-in-june-as-tariff-receipts-surge.html
