The White House today released a extraordinarily tight budget forecast for the rest of President Bush's term, suggesting there is little room for additional spending on defense, prescription drugs and other high-profile priorities.

For the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30, the administration projected a budget surplus of $158 billion, but only $1 billion remained after excess Social Security receipts are excluded. The administration estimated another slim $1 billion non-Social Security surplus in 2002, $2 billion in 2003 and $6 billion in 2004.

What's good for Americans is bad for democrats. Who's interests do you think they will pursue?

``I've got to believe Democrats are going to sit back and watch,'' Collender said. ``The only thing that helps Republicans is if a year from now the economy is back to doing really well.''

What brilliant planning on the part of the President. Giving back everything not required to within a billion. That's is good. WOW I'm amazed. The president lead congress by the nose to just the right amount of tax cut for this year taking into account the slowing economy.
