US budget deficit hits all-time high of $864B in JuneBy Martin CrutsingerAP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — The federal government incurred the biggest monthly budget deficit in history in June as spending on programs to combat the coronavirus recession exploded while millions of job losses cut into tax revenues.

The Treasury Depart-ment reported Monday that the deficit hit $864 billion last month, an

amount of red ink that sur-passes most annual defi-cits in the nation’s history and is above the previous monthly deficit record of $738 billion in April. That amount was also tied to the trillions of dollars Congress has provided to cushion the impact of the widespread shutdowns that occurred in an effort to limit the spread of the viral pandemic.

For the first nine months of this budget year, which began Oct.

1, the deficit totals $2.74 trillion, also a record for that period. That puts the country well on the way to hitting the $3.7 trillion deficit for the whole year that has been forecast by the Congressional Budget Office.

That total would sur-pass the previous annual record of $1.4 trillion set in 2009 when the govern-ment was spending heav-ily to lift the country out of the recession caused by the 2008 financial crisis.

The June deficit was driven higher by spending on various government relief programs such as an extra $600 per week in expanded unemployment benefits and a Paycheck Protection Program that provided support to busi-nesses to keep workers on their payrolls.

The report showed that the cost of the Paycheck Protection Program in June was $511 billion. That reflected a charge to the government for

all the bank loans made under the program even though the government will not actually have to pay out funds until the banks determine whether the businesses met the cri-teria for having the loans forgiven. Those require-ments include spending at least 60% of the loan amount on worker pay with the other 40% going to overhead costs such as rent and utilities.

Another reason for the surge in the June deficit

was the government’s decision to delay tax pay-ments this year until July 15. That decision mean that quarterly payments made by individual tax-payers and corporations will not be due until July 15 this year rather than June.

So far this budget year, revenues total $2.26 tril-lion, down 13.4% from the same period last year, while spending totals $5 trillion, up 49.1% from a year ago.
