    Yup, President Bush kept giving money to the rich.

    Oh wait...nevermind. I think Bush's (well his econ people's) plan is working. The democratic joke (err...party) wants the same thing that the republicans want, money for themselves. The democrats are just perfectly happy to keep pandering to the stupid, while republican's understand that people are going to screw up, and some are going to die. The democrats believe (and have suceeded in brainwashing the public) into thinking the government can solve all your problems. That is why the liberals control the media.

    I think it's important do differentiate between the words deficit and debt.

    All this news means is that the government is only going to spend $325 billion more than it takes in during this budget period, as opposed to a much higher number that was previously projected.

    That means the national debt will still increase by the entire $325 billion.

    That's really nothing to brag about.

    Well, as a balanced budget fanatic, I'm forced to agree with you on this one, Goof. This is like a kid coming home with all "D's" on his report card saying "Great news Dad! I didn't fail anything!"
