As of 9-2-05 the U.S. deficit totaled over 7 trillion, 940 billion which is within 35 billion of the record deficit of 2004 and more than 10 billion more than the deficit of 2003. And cheerleaders like Larry Kudlow write "Psst the deficit is shrinking"!?!

You're confusing the debt with the deficit.

Don't let facts get in the way of this guy being a moron.

Thank you for the correction. Yes indeed I meant to say that as of 9-2 our deficit so far this year is 561 billion which is more than 10 billion over 2003 and within 35 billion of our historical deficit of 2004. Thanks for the correction. Chart of annual deficits below.
