Now in the recoevery it has underestimated the recovery. Pretty much, as Slave pointed out, has been going on for the last forty years. But you are saying Bush hid the budget numbers from the war so that the budget estimates would not look so terrible but at the same time overestimated the deficit so the number would look better when the true numnbers came out. Is it just me or wouldn't these two nefarious plans cancel eachother out.
That is like saying that when I sell you this car I won't quote the price with the tax so it looks cheaper but at the same time I am going to quote a much higher price than the true price so when you find out the real price you will be pleasently surpried.
But of course Bush has only been doing this amazing double deception during the recovery. Before, when he underestimated the deficit, he was doing that to deceive also.
For a guy that you don't think is so intelligent he sure can predict the future well and use those prediction to his political advantage.

plus, if you start a war for oil profits, shouldn't you be straight about it, and let peple know that you will otherwise tank the economy? that way people will invest in oil stock.
