I'd have to look harder at all the numbers. At a minimum, though, you have to look at things in inflation adjusted dollars. Regardless, the deficit is always forecast over ten year periods and over that window there have been significant reductions. Maybe not as dramatic as you would prefer, but the reductions are real.
