Washington Letter Highlights Treasury Spending Pressure
The piece analyzes the Treasury Department's monthly deficit pattern under the Wilson law. It notes average daily expenses exceeding a million dollars, cites a remarkably low last day of February and a surge on March 1st, then shows efforts to curb expenditures toward a possible end-of-month surplus. It questions the motive to avoid a deficit and the political implications of declaring a surplus.
