Uh oh: Government has run up $200 billion deficit already in FY 2016

You might not even know that 2016 has already started--not the calendar year, but the fiscal year for many companies, and for many units of government including the federal government, which starts its fiscal year on October 1. So if you were wondering how much Washington politicians might add to the national debt once 2016 rolls around, you need to get caught up. They're already out of the gate and moving at warp speed. The Congressional Budget Office announced last week that the deficit just for the first two months of the fiscal year had already topped $200 billion. In two months. That's $22 billion larger than the deficit racked up in the first two months of FY 2015.
