Those deficit figures are a figment of the Treasury Dept's imagination. It's no surprise that they lowball the deficit figures since they have to do what Bush tells them to do.

If you want to know what the real deficit is, then subtract the national debt at 12/31/2007 from the national debt amount on 12/31/2006. Use the following website:
treasurydirect.gov

That includes ALL outlays including offline amounts appropriated for the Iraq war that are not included in his budget.

Incidentally, you'll find that the real deficit = $550B for 2007. One of the first things I'd love to see our government do is get back to real accounting, not this corrupt accounting that makes Enron look clean.
