Why is the Obama administration not publishing the mid-Summer budget report? The presidential administration ordinarily releases it annual midsummer budget update in mid-July. This report compares estimated budget data with actual spending and revenue figures from the first six months of year. Using REAL numbers provides a more accurate picture of the breath-taking deficits we're facing thus far. But Obama is breaking tradition by putting off the release of the report until after Congress goes on recess. Of course, they're also trying to ram government health care and "cap & tax" through congress at the same time. Why do you suppose Obama is reluctant to show the true deficit picture to the congress and the American people? See: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/07/obama_admin_spiking_the_bad_bu.html

If u pay an architect to create a plan with a construct budget of X and bids are 2x, should arch fix 4free? the architect was working on time and materials, but they also provided estimates for what it would cost to execute their plan. the fact that the bids were so far off, implies that the architect miss estimated the cost of the reality.
