And it's all Bush's fault! How dare the former President sabotage things so ruthlessly, hide his involvement so carefully, and then time it all so perfectly that it all blows up in the face of the first minority President? I mean, GWB just, like, um, HAS to be an evil racist genius to manage all that. Right? I am right, aren't I?U.S. unemployment will surge to 10 percent this year and the budget deficit will widen to $1.5 trillion next year, reflecting a “deeper recession” than previously expected, White House budget chief Peter Orszag said.
The Office of Management and Budget also forecasts that the U.S. economy will shrink 2.8 percent this year, worse than the 1.2 percent contraction the OMB projected in May. For next year, the budget office said the gross domestic product will grow 2.0 percent, less than the 3.2 percent expected in May. By 2011, the economy would be well on its way to recovery, growing at a 3.8 percent annual rate, according to the administration’s mid-year economic review, released this morning.
The budget shortfall for 2010 will mark the second straight year of trillion-dollar deficits. The projected deficit for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 is higher than the $1.26 trillion forecast in May and reflects expectations economic growth will be slower this year and next because of “the severity of the crisis in the U.S. and in our trading partners,” said Christina Romer, White House chief economist, who along with Orszag briefed reporters on the report.

No. No way. That can not be. I'm not even willing to entertain the thought. It is all Boooosh's fault and it always will be.
That George Bush, he wants to kill us all! He created the death panels and snuck them into HR 3200 too! He created the swine flu in his sekrit mexican lab, and he made global warming too.
