Luna Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 The nonpartisan Congressional Budget office has come out with their latest estimate and - surprise! - we've gone from record budget surpluses to record deficits in just two years. An estimated $500 billion for next year and a ten year cumulative debt of $5.8 trillion (yes trillion). And this with a conservative estimate that growth will surge next year and continue for the rest of the decade (yea, right). Gotta hand it to the bushies, they've reached terminal velocity much faster than anyone predicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next generation will take care of it so what do WE have to worry about. Just wait till all the Boomers start to collect social security and medicare. Then we'll all see what deficit really means.

Last month I got up Edith Cavel, did some climing in Eldorado Canyon, and two weeks ago led the split pillar at Squash. What have you been up to - something desperate at the Feathers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
