August is normally a deficit month. The normal deficit for August is somewhere around $70 Billion (inflation adjusted). My guess is that our fiscally responsible President and his Congress will dramatically 'improve' on that normal - making it 'The New Normal'...

Where does that leave our Responsible President and Congress?

With a deficit of a mere 283,207 Billion for the month of August they will match in 19 months what took that piker Bush 96 months.

Amazing!!!

That is Change We Can Believe In!!!
