Estimated tax payments for realized capital gains decisions made in advance of new taxes.
I guess this is the new meme they are trying out: “There is no deficit...and even if there is, it doesn’t matter.”
Haven’t thought it through yet but I’d bet corporations reacting to anticipated 2013 tax increases had something to with this.
Where did it go?
The Business Insider again. LOL!
I almost won the lottery!
I don’t understand how the deficit could “disappear” when we have trillions of dollars in debt. I’d be grateful for a logical explanation.
On December 31, 2012 the national debt was $16,432,730,050,569.12.
It appears this was mostly due to accruing additional interest debt.
Perhaps the reason for this stasis is that Treasury was manipulating payments to keep from exceeding the debt limit. Perhaps we will have a spike once the debt ceiling is increased.
We don’t have to raise the debt ceiling after all. WE ARE SAVED.
Just more B.S. accounting tricks.
The Democrats are staging for the March 1st negotiations.
What budget?
