Reply #3: Have you heard ANY Democrat use the correct deficit numbers? [View All]

I don't recall ANY Democrat using the correct deficit numbers. Even Air America uses the 1/5 trillion number... which reflects only about 2/3 of the true deficit.

There's too much in the deficit issue that's overly abstract to the US Public. The Dems are making a dreadful mistake if they see the budget as a tactical issue for this campaign. Like the Right, the Dems must see it as a long-term strategic issue in which case they must integrate it into their broader themes.
