Budget Deficit reaches record number.

[Ffactor]

WASHINGTON (July 27) - The White House will project soon that this year's federal deficit will exceed $420 billion, congressional aides said Tuesday, a record figure certain to ignite partisan warfare over President Bush's handling of the economy.

The annual summertime analysis is expected out this Friday, said several congressional aides speaking on condition of anonymity. That would be well after the frequently ignored legal deadline of July 15.

White House budget office spokesman Chad Kolton said the report will be issued when it is ready, and offered no date. Friday will be a day after the Democratic National Convention ends - a release date that would prevent presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and others at the gathering from citing its figures to criticize Bush.

Any Repube with children praising bush for tax cuts should go home and tell their children they are sorry for bankrupting their futures. Idiots.

 

[bluepeter]

and here is where the Bush lovers enter to say 'but it was forecast earlier this year to be in excess of $470 billion so we're actually doing better than we thought!'..............

Yes. That makes it SO much better

 

[WODIN]

My Mom failed to tell me this when Ronny was running up the deficit
to win the cold war.. I guess she knew it would be OK..

 

[Ffactor]

But of course this will in no way effect the economy, in fact surely the Bush tax cuts will make things better!
Yeah!

No correlation.


Reagan was battling the Cold War.


Bush is stealing money from the national Treasury and stuffing the pockets of himself and his base.


Tax cuts would be very ethical if they were accompanied by budget cuts.


Instead of the Homeland Security Force.....how about squashing al-Queda? Such a novel idea eh? Truth is.....the Bushbarians make billions from terrorism due to their "investments."

FDR. The original future bankrupter. Except, balanced budget or no, we still pay for his policies.

See, Bush is a borrow and spend bonehead. But the DEmocrats pander to straight up redistribution.

As long as the economy outgrows the deficit, this deficit is not a huge problem

FDR was in a very unique position.


Bush just had another recession....which happens every 10 years on average.


We need a new political party to close some of FDR's programs. Seriously.

Yes, he was in a position where government attempted to take control of the market, leading to the Depression. (no gold standard).

Then he prolonged the Depression with his insanity. (1937 was the worst year of the depression).

We need young people to vote to close these programs.

Historically, stock markets have consistently performed better with democrats in the white house.

CAn you give me the abridged version and then I will go get it?

The Russians never attacked us on our soil killing thousands..
I'd rather have the cold war than this one...

Money well spent IMO

But that Iraqi invasion almost whiped out... er... I forgot, what was the immediate threat that Donald 'Cock-free' Rumsfeld was talking about?

Immediate threat to America: No infrastructure, a failing army, no WMD and no connection whatsoever to 9/11. Good a reason for war as most.

I would like to dedicate this thread to all the brave young soldiers that sacrificed their all to keep China Brittish... er.... Morrocco French... er... Mexico Spanish... um... give Iraq the gift of Democracy... you know. Them.

I'm referring to Terrorism in general in which Afghan and Iraq are just a part.
Even I think we should not have gone into Iraq only with the Brits so soon.

Hindsight is what again ?

True, true, but then again: I was out protesting, writing congress and speaking on a radio show twice a week saying EXACTLY what I just said BEFORE we entered Vietnam II.
