Budget Time Bomb

Kevin Drum links to a Washington Post article (registration required) about how the Bush budget will blow up on whoever is in office in 2010.

For President Bush, the budget sent to Congress last week outlines a painful path to meeting his promise to bring down the federal budget deficit by the time he leaves office in 2009. But for the senators and governors already jockeying to succeed him, the numbers released in recent days add up to a budgetary landmine that could blow up just as the next president moves into the Oval Office.
