CBO - Historical Budget Data, Aug 2013

Second to the last column in Table 1 shows total deficits.

Last column of table 1 is debt - for 2012 - we are at $11.28 trillion in debt.

CBO Reports $642 Billion Deficit in 2013

Even the Koch Brother's Heritage Foundation says it is down to just $642 but they're off by ~$50-$80 billion according to actual no partisan sources. It's pretty safe to say it will be ~$580 billion for FY 2013. The people claiming we still have a $1 trillion deficit, as we had during the recent Republican recession which started under Bush, they are not using current data nor are they even being honest.

I gave the actual report for this month of real 2012 numbers.

Your article is two months old and is regarding projections 2013 forward.

From the CBO report linked in your reference link...

If the current laws that govern federal taxes and spending do not change, the budget deficit will shrink this year to $642 billion, CBO estimates, the smallest shortfall since 2008.

Don't try to confuse the issue.

I don't know what the OP was thinking when he wrote this, do you? However, the link he provided clearly states debt not deficit.........

Tell the OP to change his thread title...
