Obama’s optimism
Fox Business News

04/13/10
The Washington Post reports: ‘President’s team is optimistic on deficit.’ What? How can that be? The Post’s explanation: The federal deficit is running significantly lower than it did last year, with the budget gap for the first half of fiscal 2010 down 8 percent over the same period a year ago, senior Obama administration officials said Monday. … If the trend continues for the rest of the year, it would mean the annual deficit would be $1.3 trillion — about $300 billion less than the administration’s projection. … Assuming that Post reported that correctly, the Obama Administration is optimistic because … their estimates were wrong. The deficits may be $1.3 Trillion instead of $1.6 Trillion. Would that have been something to brag about when they made their initial estimates? … When the budget outlook over the next 10 years looks like this, a $1.3 Trillion annual deficit is not turning any corners...
