Yes, I misspoke. Deficit, not budget.

Here’s a question, since you’re so quick, and I don’t remember: Was the deficit forecast to decline due to reduced outlays or increased funding?

Funding, absolutely.

There was no question that Ocare involved new spending, but the new medical device tax, penalties for non-coverage, Cadillac tax, and the surtaxes on high earners were to more than cover it, thereby reducing the deficit.
