Republican voodoo economics

Amid the White House's preparations, the Congressional Budget Office
predicted the government will accumulate another $855 billion in
deficits over the next decade.


Wow! Isn't that a lot *less* than they though it would be just 4 months ago.
Looks like supply-side economics and the Laffer Curve are working just fine.


The projection, for the years 2006 through 2015, is almost two-thirds
smaller than what congressional budget analysts predicted last fall.


Hey! Didn't I just say that?

Last
September, their 10-year deficit estimate was $2.3 trillion.


Man-o-man! Bush has cut the estimated deficit by $1.445 trillion since last
September? That's only 4 months time. The man's a genius!

Don't you find it odd that the CBO released a ridiculously inflated deficit
projection less than 2 months before the election? And then revised that
number *downward* by nearly a trillion and a half dollars just 4 months
later?

The CBO can't be trusted. Like most branches of government, it's still too
heavily laden with holdover liberal government folk who couldn't get a job
in the real world...so they started working for the government.

OH, I get it! So, if it's less than "predicted", it's somehow, in your
eyes, turns a HUGE deficit into something good???? Well, let me help
YOU out, then.

Blindly, yes. I still can't figure out how that you think a deficit is
a good thing.

Bush did that?
