Kevin: It's Time for the White House to Stop Cooking the Books

Congressman Kevin Brady, the lead House Republican on the Joint Economic Committee, reacts to new White House figures that show annual deficits never dipping below $500 billion through the end of the next decade:

"As horrible as these predictions are, the real deficit numbers will be much higher because the White House continues to 'cook the books' by using rosy economic predictions that differ dramatically from those of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office and many private economists. The situation is only poised to get worse now that the Democratic Congress and White House are borrowing nearly fifty cents of every dollar they spend. I urge the President to start making some serious cuts in his budget blueprint now, so our children don't get an even heftier bill later."
