If a higher deficit and lower growth numbers are not part of the administration's budget update, that will lead to charges that the White House is manipulating its figures to offer too rosy an outlook - the same criticism leveled at previous administrations.
Gee, didn't I hear something about change? Yes, I could have sworn the new administration mentioned that once... or twice... a day... for over a year.
Dirty handed trick by the Obama administration ... he wants so desperately to pass his monumental spending bill for Obamacare he will do anything. I suppose this OK by some standards because he is not actual lying (yet) about the health of the economy .. the govt is just not saying anything, and won't until after the democrat congress rams through another costly, ineffective, not worked out, partisan bill .. of course without reading, or debating it.Kind of like the bank stress test that was delayed and then said that everything was fine with major banks in the US ... in the mean time we've had 57 banks closed this year alone.
America needs jobs not more expenses.
Obama modified that by suggesting the White House had "incomplete" information." Sounds like a WMD event I recall.
