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.

The officials attributed the results to higher tax revenue and to lower spending than projected on bailing out the financial system. 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 two months ago for 2010.

Yeah, good news! Instead of 1.7 Trillion it will only be an insignificant 1.3 Trillion if the trend continues! Whooooo... We're SAVED! Dodged a bullet there...

The right should quit crashing the economy while in office if they dont want to have a democrat come in and clean it up next time.


Its like the Frat boys partying and puking all over the frat house and then getting pissed at the remodeling contractor spending money to clean it up.


At least the remodeling company is trying to save money on suplies to rebuild what the frat boys pissed and puked all over.

It's headed in the right direction, and I doubt this is something you would have predicted.

Thus, the sarcasm. You may be in for some tough years ahead.

Nothing brings about recovery like more tax increases and more regulations, job-creating businesses and investors love that.

Especially his raising of the capital gains tax. Topper you really need to check your hatred of Conservatives with the reality of what you are supporting.

"President Obama has proposed raising the capital gains tax rate from 15 percent to 20 percent for married filers with incomes above $250,000. This proposal continues a long tradition of changing the taxation of capital gains, but government figures suggest it is unlikely to increase total tax revenues."

So no matter what the news, it will never be good enough for you to give up the whole "doomsayer" tude, will it?

 

[tinfoil]

it's pretty funny that the queen of crying about deficits is trumpeting an 8% reduction in deficit spending as some kind of incredible achievement. Hahah hilarious. Seriously deshrubinator, you spent 8 long years complaining about similar stuff. Do you even realize how partisan you are? You might not... probably not, in fact. LOL what a joke

He never raised the capital gains tax. Why are you speaking in past tense?

Well I say the doomsdayer 'tude should last as long in the very least as the first term of the last President.

Hang in there Hortense. You still have a couple of years.

Chin up, hitch up your knickers, and try not to whine!

And yet, even with all those drawbacks and flaws, he still is more respected than you will ever be. Is that why you have to resort to schoolyard namecalling?
