It's a relief that the WP is starting to report
on the bullshit rather than simply reporting the bullshit.
Driven by the cost of hurricane relief, the federal budget deficit is expected to balloon back above $400 billion for the fiscal year that ends in September, reversing the improvements of 2005, a White House official told reporters yesterday.
...
This is the third straight year in which the White House has summoned reporters well ahead of the official budget release to project a higher-than-anticipated deficit. In the past two years, when final deficit figures have come in at record or near-record levels, White House officials have boasted that they had made progress, since the final numbers were below estimates.I need to figure out how to incorporate this strategy in my daily life. Perhaps I could estimate I will only work one hour this week, then when I actually work a normal work week I can demand a raise for beating my estimate.
