Bush Misleads Public About Cause of Deficit
February 3, 2004 | The Daily Mislead

On the same day the White House unveiled its 2005 budget, President Bush calculatingly obscured the reason the nation now faces a record $500 billion deficit. He said, "The reason we are where we are, in terms of the deficit, is because we went through a recession, we were attacked, and we're fighting a war." But according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, the single biggest cause of the deficit is the president's massive tax cuts for the wealthy -- which he conveniently did not mention.

*******Seems little bush is using "selective intelligence" again - I wonder if he'll blame this on Tenet also?*********
