"U.S. Expects $427Bln Deficit
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. budget deficit is heading for a new record this year, the White House said on Tuesday,"
"That would follow the previous record of $412 billion clocked in 2004. The huge budget deficit has created jitters in financial markets"
...Can someone throw me a billion or 2? I would be happy with 1 million already.
The War on "Things that daddy couldn't take care of when he was in office" is an expensive event, allright.
... when was the last time the USA actually paid there UN bills?
Um, the US pays for about 25% of the UN's budget. (25% too much, of course.)
