In its monthly fiscal monitor report, the Finance Department says the result compared with a deficit of $11.07 billion in the same April-to-August period a year earlier.

And Anthropic posted an $80B in the first half of 2026, keep that in mind when you decide whether you want to spend your money on AI subscriptions or your country.

    Just FYI the 80b was due to some accounting things around valuations and investors. They didnt actually lose 80b. It was something like 20b ignoring that. They lost access to it, but they also never actually had it. It was paper money essentially.
