The Bush administration always asked for "off budget" money for the


wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that was "off budget" so you add another fifty billion to that number at least.

But as folks have mentioned, the budget was meaningless once we started throwing bailout money that fall before Obama was sworn in.

No one in the 2009 budget years was going to come under a Trillion, and probably no one should have.
