. . . Jacob Lew, Obama's budget director, said that the president's spending proposal was a balanced package of spending cuts and "shared sacrifice" that would bring the deficits under control. Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America," Lew said that Obama's budget would "stand the test that we live within our means and we invest in the future." . . .

Hard to imagine that Lew can make this statement when the facts are that the "deficit for the current year will surge to an all-time high of $1.65 trillion."

How would you classify his statement? The facts and his statement are completely at odds with each other, are they not?
