not so sure about that deficit number ... I think it was supposed to be the drop in the deficit, but that doesn't make sense either. I don't know how it could drop it by that much unless you are raising taxes on EVERY SINGLE person ... and I can't see how it could drop TO that much, unless they are dropping down (drastically) the group that would get that higher tax rate ... far below the Presidents purposed $250,000/family cut-off point.
