Won't matter, TIA 'cause the Repubs are hell-bent on only cumulative deficits rather than annual budgetary deficits... That's where they want to keep the discussion because, yeah, the cumulative deficit hiders the facts that they don't want people to know and that is the last 3 presidents who actually cut annual budget deficits were Carter, Clinton and Obama!!! No Repub has done it in 30 years...

BTW, before Saws gets on his high horse about Obama here's the facts which are readily verifiable...

Bush's last budget was the '09 budget... That's the way our system works... The outgoing president the incoming one with a budget in place...

Bush's last annual budget deficit was $1.4T...

Obama's first budget was the '10 budget and it came in with an annual deficit of $1.3T...

That means that Obama cut $100B in annual defict with his fgirst budget...

But righties and repubs don't want anyone to look at it that way because it doesn't fit their revisionist mythology...

Normal...
