Economy: A Record Deficit
THE BUSH administration announced last week its revised figure for this year's budget deficit: $445 billion. This, or so the spin goes, is good news, because the original forecast was even higher -- $521 billion. But outside budget experts had warned that the forecast was inflated, which tarnishes any celebration of the new number. Not that the administration was deterred. "This improved budget outlook is the direct result of the strong economic growth the president's tax relief has fueled," crowed Office of Management and Budget Director Joshua B. Bolten.

Mr. Bolten's argument makes little sense: Economic growth has been no faster than the administration anticipated when it predicted the higher deficit. In any event, $445 billion marks the highest deficit ever (though the administration seems to be setting the stage for a new round of better-than-expected numbers just before Election Day). Only in the administration's upside-down economic world could a deficit $70 billion higher than last year's be hailed as progress.

No. I think that idea is represented with a "-" instead of a "/".

Being in Sweden, I suppose it's easy to assume that G.W. Bush is a good president...

Wait a minute, wtf am I saying? You call those things "accomplishments"? And seriously, gay people marrying isn't going to ruin our country.

Oh, and tax cuts for the rich, let me repeat that, tax cuts for the rich, is very selfish, and shows that Bush does not know how to run a modern nation.

But, in his mind, all of "us" are evil-doers .

Bush's war record
 

Exactly, if this war record deal is the deciding factor for president - then you should not be allowed to vote.

Kerry is making his service (all 4 months of it) a campaign issue.

It will be scrutinized.  Why is this so difficult to understand for some people?  I mean... christ almightly... every thread is the same way:

"Look at what Kerry did in Vietnam."

"OMG LOOK AT WAT BOOSH DED IN ABALAMA!!!"

"Kerry's making it a campaign issue."

"OMG IRAQ IS A QUACKMIAR AND ITS JUS LIKE VEITNOM!!!"

If Kerry intends to continue to tout his military service as his greatest asset people will continue to examine it.  Shall we just take his word for it instead?  Perhaps that would be a viable solution, but Id sooner trust the viewpoint of a skinhead... at least I know he wont be changing his mind when I disagree with him.

Show me these "tax cuts for the rich."  Rumor has it that the DNC is a biased news source... could be wrong, though.

By the way, Bush was against Globalization. He said so himself many times in the past.

Can you say "King of the Flip-Floppers"?

>>WASHINGTON - The U.S. budget deficit hit a record $374.2 billion US in fiscal 2003, the U.S. Treasury Department said Monday.

The war in Iraq was one reason for the huge shortfall. But the general economic slowdown south of the border and a new round of tax cuts also played a role.


Economy likely central issue of 2004 presidential campaign
The new deficit figure is more than double the $157.8 billion US deficit the country recorded in fiscal 2002, and breaks the previous record deficit of $290 billion US, established in 1992 during the administration of George H.W. Bush. <<

He didn't cut your taxes - he refinanced them.
