Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. budget deficit will more than double this year to at least $1.18 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
As a share of the nation’s economy, which economists say is the best measure of a deficit’s size, this year’s shortfall would amount to 8.3 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product, the report said.

Весь бюджет этого года, насколько понимаю, примерно 2.5 триллиона? То есть дефицит будет в половину бюджета? А так вообще бывает?
