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
Right, anything that disagrees with you is partisan, while anything that agrees with you is fact. Fact is the economy is expanding and the deficit as a percentage of GDP is shrinking and you know it.
Katrina could cost 400,000 jobs -- CBO
Congressional Budget Office says storm could also knock up to 1 percent off economic growth.
