And that doesn't even account for the huge costs of the Wall Street bailout, which didn't really start until the new budget year began on Oct. 1. The government is promising $49 trillion more than it can deliver on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid over the next 75 years unless Congress steps in to shore up the system. Some combination of tax increases, benefit cuts or other policy changes is needed to stave off unsustainable deficits. That was the finding Monday when the administration released a 188-page "Financial Report of the United States Government" for the 2008 budget year that ended on Sept.
30. The report, released by the Treasury Department and the White House budget office, found that under the accrual method of accounting used by businesses, the deficit for 2008 would have totaled $1 trillion not the $455 billion report indicated. Wagoner was jailed under $2,500 bond, said the report. Also from the Martinsville Police Department: Kevin Lee Hairston 20, of 1410 Roundabout Road, Martinsville, was charged Saturday with misdemeanor driving under the influence under age 21, according to a report. Hairston was stopped about 3:48 a.m.
on Dunlap Street, the report showed. He released under $2,000 bond, said the report. 4, "We are deeply saddened by the sudden death of Claude Nadeau, M.D., a cardiologist with Carilion Medical Associates, Martinsville. He will be greatly missed in our practice and our community. Dr.
Nadeau was a well-respected physician and we appreciate the compassion, excellence and professionalism he always showed his patients and coworkers. Dr. Nadeau's patients will receive a letter informing them of his passing and advising them of the arrangements made for the transition of their care." Further information was not available. From the Patrick County Sheriff's Office: Robert Dennis Winigham, 45, of 3315 Helms Road, Meadows of Dan, was charged Friday with maliciously shoot in occupied building (felony) and reckless handling of a firearm, according to a report. Winigham was charged in connection with an incident that day at an undisclosed location, the report showed.
He was placed under secured bond, said the report, which did not say whether he reported in October under the cash system of accounting. Under the accrual method, expenses are recorded when they are incurred rather than when they are paid. That tends to raise costs for liabilities such as pensions and health insurance. The big jump in the 2008 budget year was largely due to changed calculations for the payment of veterans benefits. Even under regular cash accounting, the deficit is expected to top a staggering $1 trillion for the ongoing 2009 fiscal year, reflecting the costs of the Wall St.
bailout, weaker tax revenues from the deepening recession and the costs of President elect Barack Obama's upcoming economic recovery measure. What's more: The report doesn't factors in the enormous potential liabilities incurred by the Federal Reserve System over the past few months as it has tried to stabilize the financial system by taking steps like guaranteeing $306 billion worth of Citigroup troubled assets. Fed transactions aren't reported on the government's books. announces officials to round out energy and environment team The choice of Salazar to be secretary of a that oversees oil and gas drilling on public lands and manages the nation's parks and wildlife refuges will be announced later this week, an Obama transition official said Monday.
