US budget deficits over the next decade will be 286 billion less than previously estimated, the Congressional Budget Office said on Tuesday, attributing much of the decline to lower estimates of subsidy costs under President Barack Obama's health insurance reform law. Read full article

Hardly an improvement.

Time to bite the bullet and reform and raise some taxes that are way too low. You cannot continually live beyond your means.

I'm so glad we have debt and deficit adverse governments.

Rather than having a debt adverse government the UK has had a debt friendly government for some time. As a result the UK debt, as a ratio of GDP, is one of the highest in the world. It is far worse than the US debt. In fact the only American countries that have a comparable debt to the UK are Canada, British Honduras (Belize) and French Guyana. All European colonies you will note.

What you British need to do is arrange to have a government like those of low debt American countries such as Chile, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina or Paraguay. But I doubt that this will happen since the British have not been able to change your government for centuries.

That last paragraph is funny. Perhaps the UK and USA can do that and default also like them.

@ 2 Hepatitis

Just what is it with you, were you the result of a Brit shagging your mother and then having it off on his toes when he saw the result (you), leaving you both in the lurch?

Come on, do tell, we will only laugh even louder at your stupid, stupid posts than we do now!

That’s a promise.

It is no wonder you keep repeating the same crap.

I

AM

NOT

BRITISH.

I am Australian. And there are very few countries in the Americas with lower government debt than ours.

Just to prove I live here, here's some photos from Melbourne. Feel free to send requests of anything you want to see:

But I think I must have seen some typically English neocon comments coming from you - but it may have been someone else. You all sound alike.

Then there is your 'nick' - Anglotino - but that might just as well indicate Anglophobe as Anglophile. In any case if you are really Australian then you are wrong if you claim that you are not British (although I do understand your motivation). Australia is a 'British realm' and a member of the British Commonwealth. You have a British head of state. So, you are very British. Sorry.

Presumably your country is the same Australia whose auto industry has just collapsed and whose other manufacturing industries are in decline. So now your country is just a mining province whose major competitor in that field is Brazil. But, of course, Australia is not competitive with that country in any of the industries such as aircraft and auto manufacture or any of the values added endeavors. Australia is set for a long decline in its living standard.

I haven't bothered to look at the supplied photos. The only one that would be relevant would be of your birth certificate - but, I suspect, you have not included that.

If you believe half the drivel that you wrote above, it would still be funny.

Solutions made up by governors affect all participants of the country. Thus irrelevant financial decisions can make lives of many people very difficult. In such situations financing borrowers with low credit may be a good opportunity to get your total life together.
