My revised budget projection

This basically takes the latest OMB numbers and combines them with a previous projection that I made which is based partly on CBO numbers.

The mighty Obama has commanded the recession to be over and for the budget deficit to be cut in half overnight, but cynic that I am, I doubt some of his powers and am projecting what I see as more realistic numbers. I don't think it makes sense to extrapolate this any further because of all the unknowns but I think it would reach the tipping point about 2028.
