The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects the following Total Deficit (-) or Surplus as a Percentage of GDP 2005 -3.0, 2006 -2.1, 2007 -2.0, 2008 -2.0 2009 -1.8, 2010 -1.7 2011 -1.0, 2012 -0.1, 2013-0.1, 2014 0.1, 2005 to 2009 -2.2, 2005 - 2014 -1.3
You can Babble On Today and all the way to 2014 but the facts are the deficit as a GDP percentage will continue to shrink.
Hey hflynn why don't you try getting information from sources like the GAO U.S. Financial Statement. Did it ever occur to you that the CBO might be just a teensy bit partisan? http://www.babylontoday.com/index.htm#gao_financial It gets better: http://www.babylontoday.com/index.htm#debt_burden and then the drug "benefit" spending that has yet to kick in: http://www.babylontoday.com/prescription_drug_benefit.htm
