I'm trying to figure out if this new budget is a joke. Despite economic conditions being better than predicted last November, we're looking at deficits that are larger than the previous estimates. "Cuts" seem to consist of not going a freaking trillion in debt when the economy will be at its peak, which is to say the deficit will decrease because tax revenues will go up when the economy improves, something that would happen with or without this budget. Not only are actual budget cuts non-existent, but there are several massive spending increases. The only attempt to balance the budget is a new tax on millionaires, which will probably not be enforceable. The whole budget screams "I don't give a damn about the economy and want to provide extra goodies to everyone during election year" to me.
