The 2001 surplus, the fourth in a row, was also the last time the government's books were in the black as the 2001 recession and increased spending to fight wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and, Democrats contend, Bush's first-term tax cuts brought a return of deficits.

The deficit estimate of $482 billion for the 2009 budget year, which will cover the first year of the new president's term, could soar higher because it includes only a partial payment for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
