Budget projections show annual deficits to return
Federal surpluses have plunged to 1.6 trillion over the coming decade and annual deficits return for the next two years, per nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projections. The estimates for 2002 through 2011 assume no policy changes and reflect a deep fiscal squeeze amid recession, the Bush tax cut, and the war on terror. CBO Director Dan Crippen warned of uncertainty due to economy and future policy shifts.

His budget outlook features a larger Pentagon, expanded homeland security, and a projected deficit. An early morning CIA and FBI briefing frames the threat, underscoring the push for action before the State of the Union.
