US DATA: 2011 Financial Report of the U.S. Govt (yr ended Sept 30,
2011) has no surprises since it summarizes daily/monthly Tsy statements
in consolidated balance sheet form. Shows interest costs and entitlement
spending are rising, but Treasury says the YOY budget picture is
dramatically better. Tsy reports total cash at $76.9b on Sept 30, more
than the $58.1b unrestricted shown on the cash statement. More on the
MNI main wire.
