Fiscal Insanity

An easy prediction:

President Obama will preside over the largest deficits in American history (in dollar terms). It is possible that we'll hit a trillion-dollar deficit.

It's a lot worse (via Instapundit):

The details aren't known, but Mr. Obama and Democrats have been talking about at least $800 billion, and probably $1 trillion, in new spending or various tax credits and reductions over two years. Toss that in and add more expected bailout cash, and if the economy stays slow the deficit could reach $1.8 trillion, or a gargantuan 12.5% of GDP. That 2006 Democratic vow to pass "pay as you go" budgets seems like a lifetime ago, which in political terms it was.

Nearly two trillion dollars!
