We're already $598 billion in the hole for this year... Another $87 billion on top of that?

BZZZZZZZT! Wrong-o. This supplemental was anticipated and included in the Pentagon budget (although don't expect to hear this from the 'Rats or the press -- couldna happen, you know, because there was "no planning") at which time it was estimated to be $79 billion. So the addition to the deficit is $8 billion, not 87.

You think there's a shot for Bush getting at a trillion dollar deficit this year? Or will we have to wait for re-election giveaways to get there next year?
