Okay, I thought you were saying he was ignoring the recession (not the deficit).

Yes, I saw the CBO numbers when they first came out (it was very well publicized) and I've seen alot of numbers since, and the one that seems to have been settled upon is 1 trillion over 10 years.

and his overall budget is tremendously bloated. he's not fixing anything with what he's proposed. those numbers don't lie either. and i saw yesterday that positive job growth isn't projected for four to five years, which is why the 'good week' is nothing for me to get excited about. continued declines, albeit smaller, isn't a good thing. it's still a downward trend-not a plateau.
