Budget deficit soars to $102.8 billion in July
Deficit is nearly triple that of July 2007.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government says the federal budget deficit soared in July, pushed higher by economic stimulus payments and $15 billion in outlays to protect depositors at failed banks.
The Treasury Department reported Tuesday that the deficit for July totaled $102.8 billion, nearly triple the $36.4 billion deficit recorded in July 2007.
The deficit beats the $97 billion gap that Wall Street economists had been expecting for July.
