"The Congressional Budget Office is projecting that the deficit for the 2010 budget year that ended Sept. 30 will total $1.29 trillion"

It's gonna be a bit more than $1.29 trillion. The fiscal year 2010 excluding September is already at $1.259 trillion.

That's down by $125 billion from the $1.4 trillion in 2009

That's great, Bambi! Keep chipping away at it, bro!

Bush, that doggone Bush has done it again!

When are we going to throw Bush out of the White House?

Oh yes I propose a 12.5 pct cut in the size of govt over the next four years. I will even let the bureaucrats move each of the agency chairs around. However you are getting 12.5 percent less this year and for the next four years and then we will reevaluate again. A reasonable person could find 6.25 worth of waste and redundancy. These cuts would not even be noticed by the general public til the 3 rounds of cuts. Every household in America is learning to do more with less it is now time for the government to join the rest of us.

Government to report on $1 trillion-plus deficit

Oh come on, this isn't important.

Don't you know that O'Donnell was a witch?

Thanks mandaladon. It's another October surprise -- "see, we really need to raise taxes".

the federal budget deficit exceeded $1 trillion for the second straight year
