U.S. Budget Deficit Reaches Record High in November
The federal budget deficit has surged significantly in November, climbing to $367 billion, driven by increased health and defense spending. This figure represents a 64% increase compared to the previous year, with the 12-month rolling deficit reaching $2.1 trillion. The deficit has exceeded forecasts and marks a record-setting month as the Biden administration allocates billions in aid to international partners, including Angola. The current fiscal environment raises concerns as the nation faces a growing financial shortfall.
