Its worse

Donald — 1/26/2005 2:41:16 PM (archived)

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said projected deficits for the decade ending in 2014 had grown $503 billion worse than it calculated in September. Congressional analysts originally projected that this year's deficit would hit $368 billion, excluding war expenses, and about $400 billion with them. So its about $27 billion worse. We have the Republicans to blame for that.
