WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. government ran a budget surplus of $75 billion in September, the Treasury Department reported Friday, but posted a deficit of $1.089 trillion for all of fiscal 2012, the fourth year in a row with a deficit of more than $1 trillion. Compared to a year ago, the deficit is about 16% less, due to both higher revenues and reduced spending.
