NATIONAL DEFICIT


Illustrating would take many bubbles

I loved your Thursday front page “bubble example” of the our state’s $2 billion deficit. It is shocking!

Now, I dare you to use this same bubble example and compare it to the national deficit — 1-plus trillion in 2009. I double dog dare you!
