Article could be phrased better.
Deficit for April 2010 was $82,689,000,000.Phylo Se Fiser:
Deficit for April 2009 was $20,907,000,000.
The single month deficit was about 4 times higher.The word "cummulative" should not have been used. Fiscal year-to-date for 2010 was $799,677,000,000 (7 months). Fiscal year-to-date for 2009 was $802,298,000 (7 months).
…The month of April is typically a surplus month, and is notaeworthy that it had such a large deficit.
This story is a lie. You can spin numbers to make them say pretty much whatever you want. Some of you will believe right wing pundits. But since I don't trust those people on anything, I go to a more legitimate source for information about the budget: The Congressional Budget office. Here is were you can read their blog about the budget from May 2010: http://cboblog.cbo.gov/?p=817
The numbers they are talking about have ZERO relationship to the headline of this story. I mean ZERO! Go look for yourself. They say the budget deficit is about 3% higher than last year. Why anyone would trust a right wing source for information on anything anymore is a mystery to me.

The only way to effectively destroy our economic might, and ability to grow and prosper---and create secure environments for the people of America, and thus, the world, is to CRIPPLE our own economic power!!
This band of usurping anti-American, anti-Christian Marxists is well on their way to DESTROYING America.
Anyone that does not see and agree is at best blinded, and at worst partaker of their evil.
