Everything I've read states that the way the weekends work, November looks way worse than it actually is. In other words, expenditures not really intended for November fell in the month due to the way the weekends fell. Overall, the deficit is up, but not that much.
This happens every month one way or another. Remember April of 2018 setting a record surplus, even though then entire year ended up being a mini-disaster debtwise?
It works the other way too. November 2018 could look like a disaster at first blush, but really is not.
