Treasury Deficit Projections Rise as Bush Budget Preview Looms
The article reports on mounting deficit forecasts from $109 billion this year to as high as $300 billion, with experts noting 2 to 3 percent of GDP deficits. Bush intends to curb spending and boost the economy ahead of the 2004 budget release on February 3, while health and tax measures are expected to affect the fiscal outlook. Agencies warn that Iraq war costs and the 2001 tax cuts contribute to the shortfalls, with estimates ranging up to $100–$200 billion for war-related expenses. Agriculture Secretary Veneman also signals a 1 percent nutrition program increase to reach 400,000 more beneficiaries.
