	Headline taken from fark.com http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...h/bush_budgets posted: 2 hours, 26 minutes ago this is different than the other post about the huge deficit. White House budget office spokesman Chad Kolton would not comment on the Medicare figures. But an administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged that the estimate would rise to nearly $540 billion. Just Monday, the Congressional Budget Office (news - web sites) projected this year's red ink would total $477 billion.
