Bush Plans Add to U.S. Red Ink -- CBO Study
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
President Bush's budget plans, including making tax cuts permanent,
would contribute to a rise of more than $1 trillion in the federal
deficit over the next decade, according to a congressional report
requested by Democrats and criticized by Republicans.
In a report released on Thursday, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget
Office forecast the deficit would grow $3.6 trillion over the next
decade, based on assumptions provided by Democrats that included Bush
policy proposals.
That is $1.3 trillion more than the office forecast earlier this
month, in a report that did not use the Democratic assumptions.
