WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will post a budget surplus for April, the first month it will have done so since the 2007-2009 financial crisis, the Congressional Budget Office forecast on Monday.


"The Treasury realized a surplus of $58 billion in April 2012, CBO estimates, in contrast with the $40 billion deficit reported for the same month last year," the nonpartisan agency said in a statement.

Doesn't matter....America LOVES Mitt Romney. All the good news in the world won't change that.

LeRoy: Thanks a lot, Gordon. I almost spit out my coffee. Would've ruined my computer keyboard.

And for some reason, they seem completely uninterested in this information.

Guess they're all huddled in their private rooms trying to figure out how to combat this good news.

No, they're all scanning Drudge. Hence TWO posts (Dawg, worldly) on the "felon who almost beat Obama in WV".

Staying clear of good news is helped...if you ONLY watch Fox and listen to AM radio and read Matt the Hat's website.

Whats our unemployment rate again?

It's lower than it was.

But...if you'd like to make a top post about unemployment, feel free. Here, in this thread, we're speaking about good news being ignored.

addendum...My apologies...as the unemployment rate IS lower, that does qualify as good news being ignored. Sorry.

Point taken. Apologies for the tangent.
