Mr. President. Do you know what HALVE means?

As I noted here and here, President Bush had indicated that he wanted to halve the budget deficit this year and was willing to zero out some programs that don’t work. Naturally, I gave him some excellent suggestions that involved cutting the ONDCP, DEA, etc.
However,

The White House announced on Tuesday that the federal budget deficit was expected to rise this year to $427 billion

Oops.
