When will we be told the percent deficit for FY 2009?

The last projection I saw was 13.1%

BTW, I can’t seem to go here any longer:

I did indeed mean $1 billion, but only in the sense of 2010 year to date. Which, as of this morning, was only a few hours. Now that it’s mid-afternoon, however, we may have breached the $1 billion mark. But we’re probably still under $2 billion.

If only. I think you meant to type, “$1 trillion”; your fingers’ reluctance to do so is fully understandable. ..bruce..
