Want a little financial advice? Buy stock in red ink manufacturers, because Washington's going to use a record amount of it this year. Additional war spending will drive the federal deficit to a record $427 billion for fiscal 2005. That tops last year's $412 billion.
Right now, the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have increased year by year:
- 2003: $78.6 billion
- 2004: $88 billion
- 2005: $105 billion (estimated)
