"Are you really bad at math, or are you lying to us? "

When President George W. Bush came out with his 2006 budget recently, it received a lot of attention in the press.

Too bad that most of it missed the most obvious problem with it.

While stating the budget was in line with his commitment to cut the deficit in half by 2009, Bush failed to mention the three items that weren't in the budget. First, there is the cost the war in Iraq. Next up, we have the $1 trillion (at least) price tag to privatize Social Security. And lastly, there is the continuation of the tax cuts, which are set to expire, but that Bush said he wants to make permanent.

In other words, this budget isn't very truthful. In fact, deceptive is about the nicest description you can use for it.

1. Didn't Kerry say the exact same thing recently?

I seem to recall Kerry saying "Bush* is Lying" on his budget. Got no news mention at all. Actually came out and said Bush* was Lying. Did not mince any words but alas no one heard.....
