Not sure how to respond to these posts, but YES the deficit in Feb was down 6% from last year, rose in March and CBO says it "may" show a reduction by the end of the year of a small pct. If that is good news, then great if it makes all happy.

On the other hand, nah.....not pessimistic EXCLUSIVELY because Obama is President, but his track record and his past policies lead me to not be happy about the future. He is touting something that is a political game as some kind of savior...he ignored the panel he put together, etc. SO give me a reason to be optimistic...every time I ask that, I never get an answer but will try to be optimistic
