So the White House miscalculated by 30% the size of the 2006 deficit? Pretty poor job to miss by 30%. Should we consider ALL their numbers to be plus or minus 30%?

Or maybe they used "counter-intelligence" (intentional mis-information) on us, ie, put out an estimate 30% HIGHER so when the real numbers come out they can claim "LOOK HOW THE PRESIDENT'S PROGRAMS HAVE LOWERED THE DEFICIT" !

Just like when they intentionally float some controversial policy and then the President can step up and say "NO, NOT ON MY WATCH".

It's a bunch of BS, and one of Karl Rove's favorite tools to manipulate the ignorant masses.

Trust this administration if you want, but don't ask me to because I won't. History will prove me correct, wait and see!
