ANOTHER OBAMA RECORD!... 4 Straight Years of TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICITS

Back in February 2009 Barack Obama promised to cut the $455 billion deficit in half in four years.

That didn’t happen.

Instead, Barack Obama tripled the US deficit his first year in office.

The deficit the last two years was over a trillion dollars too. (The Captain’s Comments)

Now this…
The non-partisan CBO expects the US deficit to top a trillion dollars this year, too.
The Hill reported:

The Congressional Budget Office on Tuesday predicted the deficit will rise to $1.08 trillion in 2012.

The office also projected the jobless rate would rise to 8.9 percent by the end of 2012, and to 9.2 percent in 2013.

These are much dimmer forecasts than in CBO’s last report in August, when the office projected a $973 billion deficit. The report reflects weaker corporate tax revenue and the extension for two months of the payroll tax holiday.

A rising deficit and unemployment rate would hamper President Obama’s reelection effort, which in recent weeks has seemed to be on stronger footing.

If the CBO estimate is correct, it would mean that the United States recorded a deficit of more than $1 trillion for every year of Obama’s first term.
