What a shame that neglected to mention this part of the story... The Congressional Budget Office (news - web sites) said that revenues for all of 2004 may end up being better than anticipated, suggesting this year's budget deficit could come in less than the $477 billion that the office projected in March. The White House has forecast a $521 billion deficit for this year. The government produced a $374 billion deficit last year, a record in dollar terms. With the economy strengthening, some private economists believe the government's short-term fiscal picture may be improving and that the 2004 deficit could come in closer to last year's figure. story.news.yahoo.com Is this more selective posting of the facts?
