Bush will be responsible for deficits up to 2017. The reason: Permanent tax cuts enacted now will not be able to be repealed because a Republican filibuster in the Senate will prevent that from happening.

Nah, JD... it was the Heritage Foundation.

I'm sure what they were doing was just assuming NO CHANGE after Bush leaves office... just doing a straight-line projection of the effect of the current structural deficits and demographics (increase in Medicare spending, war costs, etc.)
