Never mind the US monthly Budget deficit, since October 2006, the US Treasury has managed to borrow another $1.44 Trillion on top of the reported deficits and TARP repayments. Their efforts are quite consistent as the Cumulative Spending above the Budget Deficit chart demonstrates. ie They are not just one off borrowings. The average is an extra $34 Billion per month.

Cumulative Budget deficits since October 2006 has been $2.996 Trillion, but the increase in debt has been $4.441 Trillion. Debt is 50% higher than the Budget would intuitively suggest. In March 2010, an additional $267 Billion was borrowed, and in April 2010, an additional $92 Billion was borrowed.
