The federal budget deficit will fall sharply through 2015 before surging again in the decade to come, according to a new government report. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office report out Tuesday sees America’s coffers being strained in the years ahead by entitlements under the new health care law, soaring health costs in general, and an aging population.
The projected budget deficit in 2014 is $514 billion, according to CBO, the lowest level during President Barack Obama’s presidency and well below the $1.4 trillion deficit in 2009, which followed heavy federal spending and and a collapse in revenue after the financial crisis. After falling again next year, according to CBO, the deficit will mushroom to more than $1 trillion by 2022. The increase is almost entirely due to the cost of Social Security benefits, health care programs, and interest payments on the national debt—without those three items, federal spending as a percentage of GDP is actually lower than at any time since 1940, when reporting of such data began.
So it dropping to only $514,000,000,000 or ½ a trillion dollars. That's the lowest during Obama's presidency. Doesn't the give you such a warm glow?

Crid, feel free to point out whether this study is flawed in some way and why and do the same on WHR research. Dev Singh passed away but Gaulin and Lassek have done some interesting research. Do post your analysis. Otherwise, we'll assume you're mocking this because there's nothing good on TV.
I don't have a TV; This may be the finest day of broadcasting in the history of the form. I'm mocking your attachment to a bubblegum-wrapper factoid; your presumption that baboons in a lab are going to explicate human nature, that their septic little nuggets of half-witted observation readily transform into instructive (didactic!) prose. Because, get serious.
Sex:
"[T]his study is flawed in some way."
If any, ANY observation of human sexuality doesn't break your putrid, twitching heart, then you're a coward… And YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
For the record, that "putrid, twitching heart" part was for EVERY HUMAN BEING, most especially the self, me, #1, the Magnifico Cridasaures.
Friends, the best part of Moral Parsimony is that it compels you to get your own shit in order before your start making accusations, but promises that even then, you'll probably find a target or two.
Karma is a bitch....

The deficit is going down:

Just remember what a trillion dollars looks like.

Here's what $956 billion looks like.
Crid [CridComment at Gmail] at February 4, 2014 4:33 PM
But that is only $191.2B per year. That is a drop in the bucket, isn't it? ☺

And we aren't even talking the national debt yet. That one will show you what the the next generations are going to face in debt peonage.

Hey Amy, this is even better than waist-to-hip ratios!
