the shortfall in the budget between where the economy is today and where the White House forecasted it would be in its pre-9/11 projections -- when it predicted a $600 billion budget surplus for 2006 -- is close to $1 trillion. The tax cuts account for about $250 billion of that shortfall . Spending on the war in Iraq, homeland security and Hurricane Katrina relief account for $150 billion. Another $250 billion went to other federal spending, including the new Medicare Part D prescription drug program. And about $200 billion of the decline is the result of lower-than-expected investment-related tax revenue, which resulted from the Internet stock bubble bursting and a weakened stock market.
