As horrible as these predictions are the real deficit numbers will be much higher because the White House continues to cook the books by using rosy economic predictions that differ dramatically from those of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office and many private economists. The situation is only poised to get worse now that the Democratic Congress and White House are borrowing nearly fifty cents of every dollar they spend. I urge the President to start making some serious cuts in his budget blueprint now so our children dont get an even heftier bill later.
--U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady
