US Deficit Shrinking!

Corporations and the wealthy contribute to the well-being

July 9, 2006 7:57:26 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
Looks as though the American economy is improving and the deficit is shrinking! Much to the chagrin of our resident doomsayer(s).



From TODAYonline:

The projected US budget deficit unexpectedly has shrunk by some 100 billion dollars, thanks to an increase in tax revenue from corporations and wealthy Americans, a US newspaper reported.
.
The White House is on Tuesday to release figures showing the budget deficit to be about 100 billion dollars less than projected six months ago, the New York Times reported Sunday.
.
An administration official contacted by AFP would not comment on the story Sunday.

Corporate tax receipts, as well as those from the affluent Americans, is expected to exceed last year's by some 250 billion dollars, the Times wrote.
.
The daily reported that tax revenues rose about twice as quickly as budget officials in President George W. Bush's administration had anticipated. -- AFP (bold added)

Just in case you think that this is one right-leaning report among a bunch of reports of the actual impending economic doom, please note the related links, from no friends of the Bush Administration:

That's great news but I just read an article today that said the Army isn't able to pay it's electric bills. It makes you wonder what the real story is.

Hmmmm, but I thought "The rich" never pay their taxes. ;~D

I also thought that the "tax cut for the rich" would destroy the economy and send the deficit skyrocketing :~D

You have obviously been listening to the col to much. Careful, it's starting to rot your brain.

It is apparent you have fallen victim to the spin of the Bushies.  The deficit is not shrinking, the rate of growth is not being sustained!

I didn't believe it at all until I saw the headline in the New York Times

Too bad that the Clueless One will completely ignore the reports, even when it's printed in the previously referenced paper (his favorite source, among other Democrat provided talking point papers)...

If it involves Bush at all, it must be wrong! (so sayeth the Clueless One).

Look at the other thread. He's blaming Reagan now for the deficit. What losers.

Anyway, regardless of the links' validity, what does this announcement say about the state of our economy? What does this say to all the people who scream "tax cut for the rich"?

Sounds like good news, but I'll wait for official word before getting too giddy.
