AS E.G. of GOV speak

how can "they" report on budget deficit without any mention either year of F and F cash flow in (asked of GOV as the reported simply worked on what I am sure is a treasury press release)

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The federal government ran a budget surplus of $2 billion in December, the Treasury Department reported Tuesday. The December figure brings the government's budget deficit for the first three months of fiscal 2015 to $177 billion, which is 2% higher than the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The government spent $333 billion in December, up 44% from December 2013. Total receipts were $335 billion, an increase of 18%. The December surplus compared to a $53 billion surplus in the same month a year ago, the Treasury said, but part of the difference was due to shifts in the timing of some transactions. Without the timing shifts, the December surplus would have been $11 billion, the Treasury said
