I'm glad you and your heritage publication are agreeing that the 2009 deficit is a bipartisan deficit. So instead of spending all of your time blaming Obama for all the deficits and debt he is now saddled with, why don't we all start judging Obama on what he does going forward?

If the deficits get larger from here on out, you may have a good case for saying Obama is doing the wrong things. But if his deficits come down, as he is trying to achieve, then you should congratulate him for taking a big bipartisan mess and trying to turn it around.

So the baseline is $1.75-1.85 trillion in deficits, depending on who ends up being right, the CBO or the White House. Let's see what happens going forward.
