The tea party is going to have to find something else to complain about. One of its basic reasons for living the federal budget deficit is really, truly and absolutely fallingrapidly.
I say really because my post from several weeks ago about the disappearing deficit got the deficit birthers to turn out in droves. The most polite thing they said in the comments section was that I was wrong.
So you may not want to read any further if youre one of those people who, fiscal troll-like, is convinced the government is lying, the federal budget sky is always falling and there is nothing but dark deficit clouds overhead.
The truth is the exact opposite. Not only is the federal governments budget deficit not growing, its falling precipitously in nominal terms. Its also falling rapidly as a percent of Gross Domestic Product and that means the national debt is less of an economic burden than it has been in the recent past.
Those arent my numbers; thats what the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said in its Monthly Budget Review for September that was released on Wednesday.
According to CBO, the deficit for all of 2014 that is, for the fiscal year that just ended on September 30 was $486 billion, a whopping $195 billion less (with rounding) than the $680 billion deficit recorded in 2103. Thats the lowest nominal deficit since 2008.
At 2.8 percent, its also the lowest deficit as a percent of GDP since 2008.
What no doubt will also be difficult for tea partiers to accept is that 2014 was the fifth consecutive year the federal deficit has fallen as a percent of GDP. The legend that the deficit is rising and is out of control has now been proven to be the political equivalent of the Loch Ness monster and Big Foot: Its a myth.
The deficit is projected to decrease again this fiscal year. CBO forecast in its August budget update that the deficit would fall by another $40 billion from 2014 to 2015. Given the better-than-expected 2014 number, a deficit of close $400 billion thats about 2.3 percent of GDP would not be a shock. That would be the sixth consecutive year the federal deficit has fallen as a percent of GDP.
CBO and almost all others in the budget forecasting business project that the deficit will reverse course in fiscal 2016. Interest rates are expected to go up from their current levels and a good deal of relatively inexpensive short-term U.S. debt will be replaced at higher prices. Baby boomers will continue to retire at increasing levels and drive up spending for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The tax code will increasingly reflect the work force changes and payments that are happening because of the boomer retirements. And, of course, we cant be certain about military spending.

Tea Party Needs A New Issue: Federal Deficit Really, Truly Is Disappearing
An attorney who investigated the embattled Campbell police chief recommends an arbitrator fire or suspend him for committing crimes and damaging the towns reputation.
Tim Kelemen violated the law, town ethics and employee policies when he used a tea party activists personal information online and then lied to investigators about his conduct, attorney Frank Doherty wrote in his internal investigation report released Tuesday.
Suspending the chief for 60 to 90 days without pay would punish and affect him financially but leave the five-member department short-staffed for months, Doherty stated. The misconduct and lapse in judgment warrant termination but would likely end Kelemens career, the attorney found.
The towns decision needs to be made based upon the town boards opinions regarding the damage done to its reputation and what action is sufficient in order to attempt to start the process of repairing that damage, Doherty wrote.
The town board meets today to discuss Kelemen in closed session for the fifth time since the case unfolded in June.
Because the town does not have a police and fire commission, state statute allows the board to appoint a panel of outside representatives to consider discipline.
After months of conflict between the town, police and tea party activists, Kelemen in January and March from his work and home computers used La Crosse tea party activist Greg Luces name, address, phone number and email address to create accounts on pornographic, dating and government health insurance websites.
Kelemens attorney contends he reacted after tea party members harassed town and police officials for months when board members in October 2013 passed a local ordinance prohibiting speech-related behavior on an Interstate 90 pedestrian overpass.
The chief viewed the activity as a public safety risk; Luce and another tea party member argued the ordinance trampled on their rights and responded with a federal lawsuit. The amended suit accuses Kelemen of violating Luces right to petition without retaliation, invasion of privacy and civil identity theft.
Chief Kelemen acknowledges that he made a serious error in judgment in stooping to the level of the individuals attempting to (harass) the town of Campbell and its police department, according to Dohertys report. He appears to have engaged in this activity out of a feeling of frustration and inability to defend his department from the attacks.
