[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3112662, member: 7248"] And the liberals can't explain it! Think lower taxes! While the media and the democrats are focusing on fake news creation with Russia scandals, dossiers paid for by the Clintons, and anything else the mindless public will swallow up, Trump is hard at work making things better for Americans. MAGA! The federal government took in a record tax haul in April en route to its biggest-ever monthly budget surplus, the Congressional Budget Office said, as a surging economy left Americans with more money in their paychecks — and this more to pay to Uncle Sam. All told the government collected $515 billion and spent $297 billion, for a total monthly surplus of $218 billion. That swamped the previous monthly record of $190 billion, set in 2001. CBO analysts were surprised by the surplus, which was some $40 billion more than they’d guessed at less than a month ago. Analysts said they’ll have a better idea of what’s behind the surge as more information rolls in, but for now said it looks like individual taxpayers are paying more because they have higher incomes. “Those payments were mostly related to economic activity in 2017 and may reflect stronger-than-expected income growth in that year,” the analysts said in their monthly budget review. “Part of the strength in receipts also may reflect larger-than-anticipated payments for economic activity in 2018. The reasons for the added revenues will be better understood as more detailed information becomes available later this year.” Official numbers are due out from the Treasury Department in a few days, but the CBO is usually accurate to within a couple billion dollars.
