WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. budget deficit grew to $1.833 trillion for fiscal 2024, the highest outside of the COVID era, as interest on the federal debt exceeded $1 trillion for the first time and spending grew for the Social Security retirement program, health care and the military, the Treasury Department said on Friday. It was the third-largest federal deficit in U.S. history, after the pandemic relief-driven deficits of $3.132 trillion in fiscal 2020 and $2.772 trillion in fiscal 2021. The fiscal 2023 deficit had been reduced by the reversal of $330 billion of costs associated with President Joe Biden's student loan program after it was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
