If not for shifts in the timing of certain payments (which otherwise would have fallen on a weekend or on New Year's Day), the deficit for the three--month period would have been $9 billion larger than it was last year.

CB)-The Federal Budget in 2015: An Infographic
January 6, 2016--At $439 billion, the 2015 deficit constituted the smallest since 2007, and at 2.5 percent of gross
domestic product, it was below the average deficit (relative to the size of the economy) over the past
50 years.
However, the large deficits recorded during the most recent recession and subsequent weak recovery
substantially increased federal debt-in 2015, debt reached 74 percent of GDP, slightly less than the
ratio in 2014 but higher than in any other year since 1950.
