nytimes.com — President Obama’s budget proposal for 2010 projects a stunning deficit of $1.75 trillion for the current fiscal year, which began five months ago, reflecting a shortfall of more than $1 trillion as the fiscal year began, plus the costs of bank bailouts, the first wave of spending from the newly enacted stimulus plan and the continuing costs of war.

If option A were in effect then my income would be about 30% higher this year. That means I would personally be bailing out a car company right now as would millions of other people. Then again, when this isn't about stimulating the economy its about increasing the power of government.

I'd like to see Obama get us out of this debt. Maybe we will just let China buy up more U.S. goods and services and officially have nothing to offer the world. and go under completely

Really bizarre that America is counting on China for the stimulus front money...without China then it doesn't seem like it would work without devaluing the dollar to near worthlessness
