Budget Deficit Falls by 17.57 Percent

-- Jayson
PoliPundit.com

Huh?

What’cha?

Yep.

October 2004 = $57.300 billion deficit.
October 2005 = $47.231 billion deficit.

Spending was flat on a year-over-year basis. While revenues for the gummint (i.e., tax receipts) were up sharply.

Of course, as any long-term reader of this blog will know this really isn’t a post about the deficit. Or it’s only about the deficit in part.

Let me put it this way:

How many people saw the same headline I wrote anywhere – *anywhere* – in the national media???
