Yes, Paul, the deficit is rising



Krugman on one of his rants to increase debt.  But we are increasing it, our deficit is up in absolute terms and the  deficit is up as a percentage of tax receipts and up as a percent of GDP.  Tax income for G(s) is flat when it was growing at 5% just a few months ago.

How big a deficit will Krugman, Delong and Summers get?
Depends on the downturn, the greater the downturn the more bailouts we get, most of the bailouts going to failed Magic Walrus policies.
