Deficit on track to reach 337 billion this year
Washington analysts warn the budget gap will hit at least 337 billion and could approach 400 billion due to tax cuts and hurricane relief and Iraq war spending. CBO data suggest Bush cannot meet his pledge to halve the deficit by 2009, with deficits exceeding 300 billion through the decade. The 2005 deficit stood at 319 billion. 2004 saw a record 413 billion.
