The government expects to borrow a record $188 billion in the January-March quarter, even more than it anticipated three months ago, the Treasury Department announced Monday.
The total will surpass the old mark of $146 billion set in the first quarter of 2004, a year in which the federal budget deficit hit an all-time high in dollar terms of $413 billion.

The REAL State of the Union. But people will probably focus on the smoke and mirrors show Bush will present. It's a sad time for the U.S.

And with Bush II to the North, a Liberal has no place to run. :D

With favorably ratings similar to Nixon, i don't know how much the people are going to buy it this time.

It's not so bad, really! He has a very small minority government, so he won't be doing anything extreme at all.

See there you people go again with the 9/10 thinking.

Everything has changed. On 9/10 the era of big government was over and fiscal conservatism reigned. You people need to wakeup to the reality of 9/11. We NEED big government and fiscal "flexibility" to meet the challenges of the post-9/11 world.
