The government ran up the largest monthly deficit in history in February, keeping the flood of red ink on track to top last year's record for the full year.
The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the February deficit totaled $220.9 billion, 14 percent higher than the previous record set in February of last year.
The deficit through the first five months of this budget year totals $651.6 billion, 10.5 percent higher than a year ago.
The Obama administration is projecting that the deficit for the 2010 budget year will hit an all-time high of $1.56 trillion, surpassing last year's $1.4 trillion total. The administration is forecasting that the deficit will remain above $1 trillion in 2011, giving the country thrree straight years of $1 trillion-plus deficits.

Oh, but not to worry! ObamaCare will SAVE money!
The US dollar is going to collapse. The US itself will still very much exist.
If we collapse, they won’t have to pay all those pesky social security entitlements, right?

Thank for that post.
Cutting/pasting and saving as ammo for later.
You speak the truth. More than 50% of all union employees now work for the government. When benefits have to be cut, the thugs take to streets of the cities and destroy cars and buildings. Philly, South Chicago, and Detroit will be the first to burn.
