3+-+Deficit

When President Obama created our budget committee we set out with one goal: to fix the recession. We originally had a recessionary gap of $400 billion dollars, and by working together and making some tough decisions, the committee was able to reduce the gap to $0. Our economy is now in equilibrium. In healing our country's recession by crossing party lines and compromising on both government spending increases, and tax cuts, we were also forced to raise the deficit. This was a necessary evil to fix our economy and get the United States back on track for the future. With our recession cured, we, the government, will now be able to focus our attention to other pressing matters that are affecting your lives and your American way of life today.

 The new deficit is **$1.17 trillion dollars** which is a $0.07 trillion dollar addition.
