CBO: Obama budget underestimates deficits by $2.3 trillion over upcoming decade

Not by using facts. When George W Bush left office the budget deficit was 500 billion. The CBO says the budget will run short of the mark by 10 Trillion over the next decade give or take. Ever heard of the book written by Darrell Huff titled "HOW TO LIE WITH STATISTICS"?

The present administration has it down to science. The deficits we used to run could be reasonably paid for with some belt tightening. Those we run now will bankrupt us. And the justification for the madness is embodied in the rationale that other people did it too. Sounds like words from a fight with the wife.
