Hmmm! So projections OUT TO 1997 now differ by a paltry 10%.  You're 
splitting hairs here.  Still no reason for Clinton to abandon his
pledge to cut the deficit in half by then.  Your point is more an
indictment of the Democratically controlled (your prez's party) 
Congress's budgeting ability than Bush's Economic Report.

I'll give him a break if he admits to the American people that he 
originally lied during the campaign.

Yes, paying off.  Like Ron Brown, hardly the best choice for Commerce
Secretary.  And Zoe admitted committing a felony, it's old news.

I'm all for those things.  Do you agree with his previous stand on a 
middle-class tax cut, cuts in federal spending to reduce the deficit,
a cabinet which would include Republicans, his stand against raising
taxes on gasoline, etc. ...  the list goes on and on.
