BUDGET ANALYSIS

This was — surprisingly — written for the Los Angeles Times, though I found it in the Houston Chronicle (it's not surprising that the LAT wouldn't headline it).

Anyway, it's a budget analysis that deals with the reality of the government budget; i.e., Obama is promising everything to everyone based on money that will never be there (the ol' Empty Suit remains true to form).

And yes, they talk about McCain as well. This is written with partisan and non-partisan research, and neither agrees with the Obama campaign numbers.

God help America, 'cause if he doesn't we're sooooo screwed.

HERE'S the link to the story.

[Update at 1518. Apparently the above story was a front page story in the LAT, it was Google's news gathering Al Gore Rhythm that decided it wasn't newsworthy enough. CBS copped to it two hours ago.—GPJ]
