WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The federal government had a budget surplus of $70 billion in June, the Congressional Budget Office estimated Tuesday. That is $46 billion less than the surplus in June 2013, when the government got a large onetime payment from Fannie Mae. CBO said receipts in June were $324 billion, $37 billion more than in June 2013. Spending was $253 billion in June, $83 billion more than a year ago. For the fiscal year to date, the deficit is $366 billion, $144 billion less than in the same nine months of fiscal 2013.
