Why McCain and Obama Both Suck.
According to an article I read yesterday titled “Federal deficit soaring, but McCain, Obama offer no answers,” the federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2008 is now projected to be a cool $407 billion, or about double what it was in fiscal year 2007 (the record is $413 billion in 2004). [1]
