Obama Administration to Adjust Projected Deficit; $7 Trillion 10-Year-Defict to Become... $9 Trillion

From $7 trillion to $9 trillion is a change, you have to admit.

He's moving his numbers out of unicorn-and-pixie fantasy-land closer to accordance with the CBO's.

The Obama administration will raise its 10-year budget deficit projection to roughly $9 trillion from $7.108 trillion in a report next week, a senior administration official told Reuters on Friday.

"The new forecasts are based on new data that reflect how severe the economic downturn was in the late fall of last year and the winter of this year," said the official, who is familiar with the plans.

"Our budget projections are now in line with the spring and summer projections that the Congressional Budget Office put out."

The CBO said in June that deficits between 2010 and 2019 would total $9.1 trillion. The official said the 2010-2019 cumulative deficit projection replaces the administration's previous estimate of $7.108 trillion.

The record-breaking deficits have raised concerns about U.S. ability to finance that debt and whether the United States can maintain its top-tier AAA credit rating.

Quick, let's expand federal spending beyond all imagination. The time is right.

I recall Joe Biden's statement, "We have to spend in order to avoid bankruptcy." Well! We must really be in the black now, baby!

Thanks to AHFF Geoff.

Peggy Noonan at HA... "Pull the Plug on ObamaCare".  She thinks Obama would regain popularity if he admits he screwed up, and she give the example of JFK after the Bay of Pigs... don't recall that one, exactly - thought he pretty much deflected blame onto the CIA.  Then she writes:

"Critics of George W. Bush will say here, "Did he ever show wry self-criticism?" No, he didn't. And that's why it ended so well for him."

Now my impression is that GWB was often wryly self-deprecating.  Lack of wry self-criticism was not his problem... it was a lack balance between loyalty and good judgement about some people (and that's different from being in the habit of hiring crooks, by the way), and most of all the unwillingness to go bare-knuckle with the media and his political enemies.

Oh, and guess what, Peggy has a book coming out!!

"Patriotic Grace... How Republicans Can Show Their Patriotism by Being More Gracious to Democrats".

I typed that from memory, so I might have accidently embellished that subtitle a bit, but I suspect that would be the gist of it.  If it had one.

Shockingly, I suspect I will not only forget to buy her book, but that I will also forget to ever think about it again, ever.  And I don't think Michelle Malkin has to worry about being knocked out of #1 on the NYT Bestseller list.

Please tell me how your super-smart theory explain MI at 15% after expanding government spending for years before and during the recession (i.e. every year Jenny Grandstand has been governor)?  Points will be deducted if you chalk it up entirely to what used to be the domestic auto industry.

106 Frankly, I think we've arrived at the point it may as well be a $100 Trillion deficit.

The same Liberals that whined for 8 years about the trade deficit and the Bush deficit - both trivial compared to the Obama Atrocity - still would refuse to criticize the sheer size of it.

And the simple fact it: there is simply no way this money can ever be paid back in real dollars. Especially if the Obama Health Catastrophic Implosion is actually enacted.

Brace yourselves for a decade or two of 1970's type inflation - and that's the BEST case scenario.

Only race will keep this carpetbagger, Obama, from being tarred and

feathered. There is still a plethora of white guilt in our electorate. Pelosi,

Reid, Emanuel, Biden, et al are still on the list for cannon fodder....if

we can find a conservative spokesman to light the fuse. You can't

kill an "Obama", even if you tried. They are ephemeral, and not

of this world.

i sure wish there was some kind of magical legal document that one branch of government could use to stop another branch from doing really crazy things like monitizing the nation's debt, or creating new beaucracies with no Constitutional authority...

too bad we don't have something like that.

112 The deficit is real but the announcement is pure political theatre. The new 2 trillion is going to help the administration justify scaling back their healthcare reform ambitions, and pass a simpler, smaller plan.  With the aid of select media  they'll tell the progressives it's the only "prudent" thing to do.

118 So there's a $2 Trillion increase in the deficit over the next 10 years from the previous numbers. And it's due to stuff that happened last year, before Obama was President.

Even the MSM can't be that dumb. And don't forget the reason for the difference between the O Team's numbers and the CBOs numbers previously. It was all about future growth rates. The O Team said growth rates would return to historical rates and the CBO said tax increases and Obamacare (I think) would depress growth rates. So now they come up to CBO numbers, but it's due to the fairly distant past? I hope Lucy Ramirez has a document to explain this.

$9 trillion?  That's $9,000 billion.  What'll happen is, somehow they'll manage to get it back down to a mere $6 trillion (probably by using smoke & mirrors), so then they'll be able to say, "See, our brilliant progressive policies reduced the deficit by $3 trillion!!!!!   Aren't we wonderful?"

Things are really going well in D.C.  Bottomless deficits, health-care bill in disarray, "cash for clunkers" abandoned as hopeless, the public in mutiny, .....

And Obama's going to hide out on a vacation.

With luck, he'll stay there until 2012.

"i sure wish there was some kind of magical legal document that one branch of government could use to stop another branch from doing really crazy things ..."

The three branches were originally set up (by people a lot smarter than what we've got today) so that each was a check on the other two.  Only the House can spend money.  The President has veto power and appoints to the Supreme Court.  The Senate guarantees that every state has equal representation, the House guarantees that more populous states have more representation.

But now that Democrats control all three, nobody even wants to restrict the other two.
