Budget busting

Last month, the deficit was larger than the entire deficit for 2007.

The federal government posted its largest monthly deficit in history in February, a $223 billion shortfall that put a sharp point on the current fight on Capitol Hill about how deeply to cut this year’s spending.

That one-month figure, which came in a preliminary report from theCongressional Budget Office, dwarfs even the most robust cuts being talked about on the Hill, and underscores just how much work lawmakers have to do to get the government’s finances in balance again.

Right now I'm wondering of this country is going to survive what Obama and the Democrat American Communist Party has done to it, with a good dose of help from the Republican Stupid Party.
