Bush's last budget was $440 billion in the red but it did not even include $125 billion for Iraq/Afganistan, $700 billion for TARP and billions more for disaster relief. ALL real money appropriated as emergency spending not counted into the deficit but adding to the debt. Now where I come from we call that "cooking the books". Obama is pumping out barrels of red ink but he doesn't hide the fact. The WH issued the 10 year estimate of $9 trillion today while CBO's current estimate is $7 trillion. Do you ever remember W handing an estimate MORE than CBO? I sure don't. Cuss Obama all you want but he is being honest while W was not.
