Your link is incorrect. The deficit is shrinking.

Federal budget deficit drops AGAIN

My bubble is doing quite well, thank you.

That's the problem with petty partisanship. Why don't you try to break it?

Get the facts instead of CBO spin. It is understandable that many tend to seize on articles that reinforce their hope, but it is not too productive. My chart http://www.babylontoday.com/index.htm#monthly_deficit comes directly from Treasury numbers http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdpdodt.htm . The deficit, or what the government refers to as the "on budget deficit" is exactly what my chart represents and so far this fiscal year is 561 billion. Or try Webster: Deficit - A shortage in amount, esp. of money. You folks seem to be pretty propagandized.

If you want to get an idea as to how distorted CBO numbers can get just look at what they did to the Prescription Drug so-called Benefit projections.
