The New York Times > National > New Deficit View to Fuel Campaign Fight: "The White House's projection of a record federal deficit that could approach $450 billion this year will further fuel a campaign-season dispute over President Bush's handling of the economy.
Bush's budget office planned to release its latest forecast Friday. Its magnitude, described by congressional aides speaking on condition of anonymity, will easily surpass last year's $375 billion, the largest ever in dollar terms."
And you know what they say about this? "it shows improvement over early this year"! God help us.
What it shows is that this crew are totally out of control. Demanding even larger tax cuts as they borrow hundreds of billions to pay for the deficit. They must be completely insane.
