Mr Mark Kirk, Republican, went on a trip to China to tell them not to believe our Budget Numbers, openly telling a foreign government not to trust the administration in Washington.
"One of the messages I had -- because we need to build trust and confidence in our number one creditor," said Kirk, "is that the budget numbers that the US government had put forward should not be believed. The Congress is actually gonna spend quite a bit more than what's in the budget, and the health-care bill probably being the lead driver of additional spending by the Congress."
