Bush Budget Would Add $1.6 Trillion To Deficit

Analyst: Bush Budget Would Yield Deficit

WASHINGTON - President Bush's budget would keep federal deficits over $200 billion annually for the next decade and add $1.6 trillion to the shortfalls that would otherwise occur if his fiscal policies are not enacted, Congress' top budget analyst said Friday.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the president's budget would leave a 2005 deficit of $394 billion and a 2006 gap of $332 billion.

But the budget office noted that Bush's fiscal blueprint omitted the costs of overhauling Social Security, which some analysts have said could cost $2 trillion over the next decade.

Somebody needs to take the national credit card away from this fiscal crack whore.

he will cut the deficit in half in 5 years.

but fat load of good that does when it's still 200 billion per year.

Instead of making bacon, he is making ham. However we need the pig alive.

The 2005 deficit below does NOT include proposed Iraq & Afghanistan spending. Nor does the 2006 deficit shown include ANY such spending.

... of the deficit after five years.

away with this math.

In other words, ignoring the war criminal's budget in its entirety and leaving everything alone would save our progeny $1,600,000,000,000. Sounds good to me.

Then we all know the TERRORISTS WIN!!!

Just thought i would give you the GOP responses to the
REALITY OF THE BUSH POLICIES OF FINANCIAL DESTRUCTION.

Dr. Doom is at the controls of the ship of state, taking us down.

Next stop, the abyss, the bottomless pit of hell . . .

More like Argentina, just after their currency collapsed.

Lot of yelling and shouting at first. Maybe some gunfire. Then a succession of ineffectual leaders while the IMF/World Bank feasts on our bones, milking us for billions in interest every year while we're under an 'austerity program'.

But take heart! If the economy gets bad enough here, and keeps getting better in India and China, maybe the jobs will come back!
