White House predicts deficit decline in updated budget
The White House projected a 2003 federal deficit of 445 billion dollars with deficits falling to 331 billion in 2004 and 229 billion by 2009. The Commerce Department reported 3 percent growth this spring, slower than economists expected, due to consumer spending cuts amid high fuel costs. White House budget director Joshua Bolten called the outlook improved yet still unwelcome, crediting tax relief and growth.

The report notes Medicaid and Medicare costs, added military spending, and Medicare increases, and flags longer term concerns as baby boomers retire.
