Seems like a stupid idea to overproject the deficit It's neither the first nor last stupid idea to come from this administration. TP

"Seems like a stupid idea to overproject the deficit, since that would give lawmakers an incentive to fill up the extra margin with pork." Uhh. The projected deficit is based on projected expenditures BY the lawmakers minus projected revenue. I think you're confusing it with the BUDGET, and how much money is available.

"Then the deficit would be closer to zero, and you'll still be complaining" No. There is nothing more important than the deficit. I did stagflation once and didn't like it. It isn't going to be more pleasant this time around.
