This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

U.S. July budget deficit nearly doubles



Ring!!!

Bush: "Hello, who is it?"

Corbett B. Daly, CBS Marketwatch: "Its me Corbett Daly, from CBS Marketwatch"

Bush: "So? What do I care what you think?"

Corbett B. Daly: "The U.S. federal budget deficit nearly doubled to $54.2 billion in July from $29.2 billion a year ago, the Treasury Department said Tuesday."

Bush: "That's all Clinton's fault, Karl says so."

Corbett B. Daly: "So far in fiscal year 2003, the federal deficit has totaled $324.0 billion, compared with $145.5 billion a year ago. Receipts fell 3.9 percent so far this year to $1.48 trillion, while outlays rose 7.1 percent to $1.80 trillion."

Bush: "Yeah, well, we've had terrorush and the war in Iraq that I started, that's not cheap you know, have you seen gas prices, now imagine a fleet of tanks and hummers."

Corbett B. Daly: "Analysts said the larger deficit is the result of several factors, including a sluggish economy and recently enacted tax cuts."

Bush: "Well, that's their opinion now isn't it?"

Corbett B. Daly: "The White House has forecast a record $455 billion dollar budget deficit for fiscal year 2003, which ends September 30. For fiscal year 2004, which runs from October 1 to September 30 next year, the administration is predicting a $475 billion shortfall."

Bush: "erp...?"

Corbett B. Daly: "The non-partisan CBO earlier this month projected that the U.S. would record a $401 billion deficit this fiscal year."
