Truth about Defecit

I think that the article in New York Times was very incisive about the deficit that the US economy is currently experiencing. However, I felt that the writer was constantly pointing out former President George Bush's mistakes, rather than offering a better solution to fix the problem.

The Obama Administration is trying desperately to alleviate the problem, by various methods including the funding of new projects and programs. Of course, this proposal will cost a great deal of money, but what if it doesn't work? Is it worth the risk?

The Article basically focuses on how the deficit is affecting our economy. Furthermore, the writer is hoping to help the reader understand what deficit and other economic terms mean, figuratively and literally.

I think that the article was well written, but it should have shown more solutions. Obama is taking the initiative to fix the economy and restore it back to the way it was, but it will take time. Unfortunately, some can't afford to wait.
