The White House predicted Friday that the federal governmentâs budget deficit for the current fiscal year will hit $600 billion, an increase of $162 billion over last yearâs and a final sour note on President Obamaâs watch.
The annual deficit topped $1 trillion for each of Obama's first four years in office, including a record $1.4 trillion in 2009. Deficits have since fallen due to a combination of federal spending cuts and economic growth. The government had a shortfall of $483 billion in 2014.
