The U.S. budget deficit is about $427 billion, or 3.7 percent of gross domestic product, while the current account -- the broadest trade measure since it adds investment flows -- hit a record $166.18 billion shortfall in the second quarter.
Remember, Bush's refusal to pay for anything until after the 2006 midterm elections has nothing to do with our record deficit.
