-- The
Treasury Department
reported that the deficit from October through February totaled
$162.2 billion, down 25.5 percent from the same period last year
driven by growth in government tax collections that continue to
outpace growth in spending. There were more good news as
97,000 jobs were added in February and unemployment hit 4.5%, close
to a 5 1/2 year low. GDP growth in the fourth quarter was up 2.2%
and real wages increased 2.1% over last year. |
