Message: <blockquote data-quote="SMS" data-source="post: 2120923" data-attributes="member: 42">Any deficit projections are just that, projections.  Or in other words...they are guessing.Some of the CBO's projections assume a 1.5% growth.  If that growth doesn't materialize, the projection is worth nothing (growth in the 4th quarter of 2012 was recently revealed to be .1%).We are still raking in debt, and unfunded liabilities will drown us.  Shaving $100B off the deficit for one year is like an individual saving one dollar when they are a million bucks in the hole.  Patting yourself on the back about your "savings" won't change the fact that you ain't getting anywhere.</blockquote>
