    Budget deficit to hit $337 billion

    WASHINGTON - The budget deficit will rise to at least $337 billion this year and may well approach or exceed $400 billion because of tax cuts and new spending for hurricane relief and the war in Iraq, congressional budget analysts said Thursday

    In a $2.5 trillion (that's with a T) budget, to single out any couple of factors for the deficit is an exercise in bias searching for some support. That the tax cuts were cited reinforces that quick take.

    Then I saw the reference: a Buffalo News editorial.

    A forum where the morons are completely unhindered by facts or objectivity. Not worth reading.
    Truth springs from argument among friends.

    Let's Recap:

    Steven: the deficit will be at least $337 billion this year, and perhaps even $400 billion.

    Biker: the Buffalo News is a big poopie-pants!

    Whew! Thank goodness that nasty deficit problem is now solved!
