The deficit is going down ! ....Uh, not really....

[kentuck]

Limbaugh and the Repubs were shouting this from the rooftops yesterday. Why? Because they think this is one of their most vulnerable issues in next years election...becasue they take internal polls? So, now they want to show that Bush's taxcuts are really working. The deficits are coming down!, they shout.

But, they don't tell you that they are taking about $200 billion off the books each year for the war in Iraq and other "intelligence" purposes. Senator Kent Conrad explained it very well yesterday when he pointed out that the deficits are actually about $600 billion per year right now! That's over a $trillion dollars every two years under this group of cover-upping thugs.
