White House projects record deficit in 2004 forecast
The White House projects a 2004 budget deficit of 445 billion dollars, the largest ever though lower than earlier estimates. The administration links the deficit trend to economic recovery while Democrats argue the figure remains historically high and targets a higher full-year shortfall. The Commerce and Labor reports show slower growth and major job displacement since 2001.

Kerry faces mixed signals after Democrat convention bounce
