Everything is fine. We're doing great! BREAKING: The US Government officially posts its largest July budget deficit in history, at -$432 billion, due to an acceleration in federal spending.
Interest on US debt rose +$26 billion from last July's levels to an alarming $118 billion for the month.
This puts total interest expense for FY2026 up to $1.17 trillion in FY2026.
As a result, interest expense has officially surpassed both National Defense and Medicare spending.
In other words, the US government now spends more money just on interest than it does to fund the entire US Military or to provide healthcare for seniors.
We cannot afford higher interest rates. https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2087890009277833590

Your source is some propaganda machine from tweeter?
Got it.
According to the US dept of treasury January and April were both above 500B and June was 495B. So this is the highest deficit in July.
Whoopi whoop.
I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.

historical Context of Record Deficits
June 2020: Peak monthly deficit of $864 billion (the largest ever recorded in a single month).
April 2020: Previous monthly record high of $738 billion, set during the initial wave of pandemic shutdowns and emergency aid packages.
March 2021: Reached $660 billion, driven by subsequent economic stimulus checks and relief packages.
July 2026: Reached $432 billion, representing the highest monthly deficit level seen in over five years, influenced by significant shifts in outlays and spending

The primary source is the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Monthly Treasury Statement (MTS) for July 2026, released by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service on August 12, 2026. Bloomberg, Reuters, and every other news service compiled that propaganda from the government.

Right. But they are touting it as some horrible record breaking deficit.
It is not even close.

Trump himself is responsible for 20% of the entire national debt. Not bad for a man who claims to be cutting waste and regulations!

Still the best President of my lifetime. I liked Reagan better but my lifetime might include a few more years than yours. 
The true mark of a man is not how he conducts himself during times of prosperity, but how he conducts himself during times of adversity.

At least Trump is getting his name back on the Kennedy center. I’m so proud of him. It’s great to have a president that focuses on the important things

Outback, I know the chiggers are bad this year, but if you spray your clothes with permethrin you won’t have to constantly scratch that itch. I just hate to see you suffering
