BREAKING: The US Treasury posted a $345 billion budget deficit in August
In August 2025, the US Treasury reported a staggering $345 billion budget deficit, marking the largest monthly deficit of the year. This figure is particularly alarming as it stands as the second-worst August on record.

With expenditures rising, the gap between income and outgoings continues to widen. Policymakers and economists are closely monitoring these trends, as sustained deficits could have far-reaching implications for the economy, including potential impacts on inflation and interest rates.
This month’s figures raise important questions about fiscal policy and the sustainability of current spending levels. For those interested in the details, you can find a breakdown of the numbers and further insights from sources like The Kobeissi Letter.
