Obama's grandmother worked in a bank. When he was born all you needed to do was open a bank account and claim the owner of the account was a citizen and SS cards were mailed to the owner at the address supplied for the account. That is how four brothers in my family, including me, all received SS numbers that were sequential. My grandmother opened four savings accounts for us when we were kids, on the same date.

Deficit at $1.5 Trillion, a Postwar Record
By DAVID M. HERSZENHORN

The nation’s budget deficit will widen to nearly $1.5 trillion this year, and the country faces “daunting economic and budgetary challenges,” the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said on Wednesday as it released its most updated fiscal report.

The budget office noted that “the deficits of $1.4 trillion in 2009 and $1.3 trillion in 2010 are, when measured as a share of gross domestic product, the largest since 1945 – representing 10 percent and 8.9 percent of the nation’s output.”
