April is when most individual file their taxes and pay any difference between what was withheld and what they owe, so how is this significant of anything other than when the feral government collects the most payments?

It certainly isn't any indication of a decrease in expenditures.

The federal government broke its record deficit streak in April, notching its first monthly surplus since the end of the Bush administration, according to preliminary estimates released Monday.

The three previous Aprils didn't spike revenue enough to make it a monthly surplus.

But with four billion borrowed a day, I'm not seeing a surplus.
