Great. President Obama reduced the deficit by $262 billion.

oh no.

I noticed that. My big thing was the projections for next year still being in the neighborhood of 1.3 trillion.

I'm trying to figure out how FY2010 can be that high when before the 2 stimulus bills, the defecit was somewhere around $500 bil and the stimulus bills were non-perpetual spending totalling 1.5 trillion.

I mean, yeah, half the last one will be on 2010, so the deficit for FY 2010 should be somewhere in the neighborhood of $800-900 billion, but where's the extra 300-400 billion coming from?

Better check the friend of Obama's pockets...

You think he's friends with the corporate executives when you also claim he's anti-business and capitalism?... or at least that what it seems like you're saying.

You don't think certain corporations/people get to thrive in an anti-corporate environment. Naive much?

Corporate executives aren't the only ones who can benefit financially from government. The UAW sure is making out well on the taxpayer's nickel as a direct result from Obama's decisions.

The Cubs have a better chance at winning the World Series this year than the deficit going down.
