The top story in Reuters is the record budget deficit.
The link is to a story with a graph that covers all years from 1992
through YTD 2004.

If the link breaks in transmission, just cut and paste to close the gap.
The highest surplus occurred with $236 Billion ahead at the end of 1999.
Today we are at the nadir (hopefully it won't get any worse) with a
$412.55 billion deficit in fiscal 2004.
Info is from the Treasury Department (news - web sites) said of October
14, 2004.
This marks the Bush administration's second-straight record deficit.
I wonder what this means for
Public Education and Transportation
Safety measures
Highway improvements
Government wages
and their impact on our corner of the country.
