CBO says Bush budget plan improves deficit
Fri Mar 4, 2005 01:59 PM ET
WASHINGTON, March 4 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush's 2006 budget plan will shrink the deficit slightly more than he said it would, Congress' fiscal watchdog said on Friday.

The Congressional Budget Office said in an assessment of Bush's budget that the deficit for the current fiscal year, which ends on Oct. 1, will reach $394 billion, better than the record $427 billion the White House forecast and around the same as CBO's expectations of the deficit before factoring in Bush's plan.

Job Gains Strong, But Jobless Rate Climbs
