Budget error hides deficits in Bush plan release
Washington AP reports that White House tables in President Bushs budget omit minus signs due to a technical error turning expected deficits of 106 billion dollars this year and 80 billion next year into surpluses. OMB spokesman Trent Duffy jokes about a low cost fix as 13 000 copies go out Monday and officials consider stamping notices or posting correct figures online. Democratic staff director Thomas Kahn criticizes the tax cuts that allegedly wiped out the surplus. The deficits marked in the budget would be the first since 1997 breaking a four year surplus run.
