Happy New Year
The government's fiscal year ended on September 29. Calculated Risk notes that the public debt rose a just a tad last year: about $574.3 billion (after subtracting surpluses in social security and other trust funds).
But hey, 2006 could have been worse. The government suspended all Medicare payments for the last nine days, pushing all those payments off until FY 2007.
