US Records Budget Surplus? Really?

From Greg M

So, here is a headline for you being broadcast across the MSM:

“U.S. records budget surplus in August.”

However the fiscal deficit is on track to double this year, but you are not supposed to know that.

Their own numbers are: The U.S. recorded a $89 billion budget surplus in August, compared with a deficit of $220 billion in the same month last year, the Treasury Department said Tuesday.

(The improvement, or so called “budget surplus,” was due to technical government accounting).

Does anyone want to take a stab at what '“TECHNICAL GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING” might just be?

Any guesses? GO AHEAD, MAKE THIS UP! Impossible…
