At least there’s the cheery bright side to the president: “I had a New Year's resolution,” he told the crowd, exhibiting his boyish charm, “and it was to make sure that Congress keeps the taxes low and to make sure that when we spend your money, we do it wisely or not at all.”
Yet… according to the Congressional Budget Office yesterday, the U.S. government posted a $107 billion budget deficit in the first fiscal quarter of 2008 -- up $27 billion from the same time last year.
Oh, well, we pledged to stop drinking wine by the bottle this year, too. That hasn’t really panned out for us either.
