U.S. budget deficit hits fresh Obama-era low
The U.S. budget deficit narrowed to $439 billion in fiscal 2015, the
Treasury Department said Thursday. The deficit is the smallest of Barack
Obama's presidency and the lowest since 2007 in both dollar terms and
as a percentage of gross domestic product. The deficit fell to 2.5% of
GDP. Revenues for the year were $3.2 trillion, an increase of 8% over
the prior year. The government spent $3.7 trillion in fiscal 2015, up
5%. The government's budget year runs from September through October.

Since Obama’s inauguration, the Treasury has increased the federal
government’s debt held by the public by $6,739,201,661,284.21—or about
$57,431.65 for each household in the United States.
When Obama
took office on January 20, 2009, the total debt of the federal
government was $10,626,877,048,913.08. But the Treasury divides this
total debt into two main components: debt held by the public and
intragovernmental debt.
