One of the reasons they predicted an outrageous number of jobs would be created was so that they could project a larger amount of revenue would be collected through taxes on the new jobs. Just another way of making Juniors massive deficit look smaller till the true numbers prove him wrong. Even though they have now backed away from the amount of jobs which will be created they won't increase their prediction of the deficit. This is as bad as the trick of not including the 50 billion or whatever for Iraq in the budget. When the truth is known the deficit for 2005 will be way over 100 billion more than Junior predicts. But he's not a statistician, he's a scientist. Just ask him about global warming.
