What about this, Paul Ryan?

The Congressional Budget Office has now revised its estimate of the 2013 budget deficit -- and it's down by over 20% of what it was projected to be just a few months ago:   from some $845 billion down to $642 billion.

The deficit for 2014 is anticipated to drop even further to about $378 billion, or about 2.1% of the economy, a very respectable amount.

So, what do you say to this, Paul Ryan?    You were predicting disaster if we didn't adopt your austerity measures.   But this rapid shrinking is happening under a Democratic administration.   Remember?   Barack Obama is still president.
