Yes, those are deficits. Here is the historic average for growth in the budget. The growth rate is higher now. Nondefense discretionary outlays rise by nearly 7 percent, slightly above their average growth rate of the previous 10 years, whereas defense outlays increase by less than 5 percent, well below their average growth rate over the past decade. Outlays for net interest (excluding the effects of ARRA) are expected to be $16 billion higher this year than last year, largely because of additional government borrowing. cbo.gov
