The federal deficit will soar to nearly $1.6 trillion this year, miring the nation in the deepest pool of red ink since the end of World War II, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and the White House reported Tuesday.

This is a major problem. 

This huge amount of money

that we will have to repay and

to pay interest on for many

years. And the deficit next year

will be even bigger.  The very

large national debt will be the

biggest problem for president

Obama.
