Yesterday, the mainstream media fell over itself reporing that the federal deficit had actually dropped faster and farther than anyone could have predicted.
Even if you didn't need a road map to know this was wrong, consider this. On Thursday, I believe it was, Mr. Bush signed a transportation bill that is notoriously pork-packed even in town for pork-packing is legendary.
A nearly 300 billion dollar transportation bill means that every man, woman, child and oh yes, even "snowflake baby" has to fork over about a thousand dollards EACH. That's before interest, pricing problems, product overruns, etc and the fact that any job that requires transportation costs as part of it - like this one will - is going to hemorrhage money.
So please, tell us again how the deficit is dropping at record levels.
