An Amazing Denial of Reality
Note this stunner from Christine Gregoire during her time spent with liberal bloggers last week:
Rossi is charging, for instance, that Gregoire is leading the state into a deep deficit. "Thirty states are now sitting on a deficit: we are one of the few in surplus. We are the envy of the country," Gregoire declared.
A surplus, huh? Might want to tell that to the Senate Ways & Means Committee that has been projecting a huge deficit - now up to $2.7 billion - for months now.
Meanwhile, Gregoire's Office of Financial Management still can't be troubled to produce its own public estimate of the deficit that will great the Legislature and Governor during the 2009 session. Indeed, Gregoire's administration has been
ignoring reality since nearly the start of this year.
